Willamette's MBA in Operations, Analysis, and Systems

The Operations, Analysis and Systems concentration builds skills in analyzing and innovating the processes of an organization. Hone technical skills and soft skills to secure a competitive advantage with a career in operations.

Dive into Operations

Are you considering a Master of Business Administration (MBA) program with a focus on Operations, Analysis, and Systems? Willamette offers a concentration that prepares students for a variety of career opportunities. Whether you want to become a consultant, business analyst, operations analyst, or systems analyst, you'll learn the right skills. Our MBA graduates also pursue careers as marketing analysts and financial analysts.

Why choose this concentration over a Master's in Supply Chain Management?

A master's degree in supply chain management focuses on logistics and supply chain operations. Willamette's Concentration in Operations, Analysis, and Systems offers a broader range of skills. This skill set goes beyond supply chain management and encompasses a wider range of business disciplines. Students who opt for this program can expect more advantages in the long run.

Students gain a broader skill set for the professional world. Our concentration encompasses a wide range of topics, including data analysis, project management, and sustainability management. By pairing elective courses with foundational courses, students can gain a deeper understanding of facets of business, government, and not-for-profit organizations.

Our MBA program allows students to adapt their skills to various industries and functions. From careers in global supply chain management to information technology, the skillsets from this MBA are relevant to different professional paths. Graduates can enjoy flexibility in career choices and explore more options than someone in such a specialized role.

In today's economic landscape, data analysis is critical. This concentration places a strong emphasis on analytics, giving graduates a competitive edge. Students will hone in on their problem-solving skills and solve operation and supply chain challenges through data. No matter what career students choose, they'll find that data skills will positively impact every role they choose.

More than just an MBA in Supply Chain Management

As a top business school, Willamette understands how vital it is to cover core business concepts and specialized topics. MBA students will experience a variety of business classes to provide a holistic approach. Willamette also offers hands-on learning opportunities to equip students with knowledge and experience to thrive in the job market.

Our business school offers a full-time MBA program and a part-time MBA program. Get a better understanding of product and service operations and learn more about our MBA in Operations.

By specializing too narrowly, students may limit their career versatility. Rather than pursuing an MBA in supply chain management, consider an MBA program that encompasses a broad spectrum of business disciplines. Our concentration equips students with a diverse skill set, preparing them for success across various career paths.
