MIS or Supply Chain? Struggling with degree.
Hi! I am a senior at Metro State University and will be graduating in Spring 2027 with a Bachelor's in Management Information Systems, but I have been considering switching my major to Supply Chain. I am already very deep into my current major and am unsure whether MIS will offer strong career opportunities after graduation. I have been unable to find an internship, and as a first-generation student, I am feeling anxious about my future and career prospects. I would love to hear any advice you might have, and I'd also like to know what career opportunities are typically available for MIS graduates.

What advice do you have for someone looking to pursue Logistics & Supply Chain Management?
I am currently returning back to school, after being in the transportation industry for the last 5 years, to pursue a degree in Supply Chain. This decision was made after I sought employment as a PT Supply Chain Specialist for a well-known distributor. I analyze data, facilitate meetings with vendors, and overall manage inventory to help maintain a steady flow for our customer. This side of the warehouse is new to me, but I would like to know pointers (or advice) for this specific industry. What should I look out for, good or bad? What has worked for you? Are there associations that I should look into joining to help further my career? What do you wish someone would have told you about the industry?

Should I go for a APICS cert before I graduate?
Hello all, I am currently in my senior year pursuing a BS in SCM. I have been rejected from multiple internships and I’m wondering if it’s because I am not at a top school for SCM. To help me out with job prospects once I graduate, I’m thinking of paying for the ASCM CSCP cert and begin working on it now, so I can have it done by the time I graduate. Is this a good idea? Will it help my job prospects or will my degree be enough? I want to graduate and hit the ground running!
