Transportation and Logistics Management degrees build knowledge in the fields of transportation, logistics, and supply chain management by providing students with the principles of management, economics, finances, and components of global air, maritime, logistics, and transportation systems.

Transportation and Logistics play critical roles in Emergency and Disaster Management as well as Homeland Security. Whether stakeholders in transportation move goods on a regular basis from distribution centers to retailer outlets or whether they must react to a disaster which requires emergency shipments of water, transportation professionals must acquire a broad knowledge in their field.

These three fields are critically impacted by Information Systems, Security Management and Environmental Studies. For today, it is information which moves the world and moves cargo. The value of information is equal in importance, if not more, than the movement of goods themselves. Sustainability of global supply chains impacts their resilience.

The ability to adapt to new advantages and complexities are critically important, and companies are relying more heavily on the strategic thinking of their supply chain management (SCM) leadership. The good news is that the jobs will be more plentiful and lucrative. On the other hand, more will be demanded of these professionals.

APU offers affordable online degree and certificate programs which leverage your experience and strengthen your competitiveness.

Dr. Oliver Hedgepeth, Program Director for APU’s Transportation and Logistics Management program offers some advice for those looking to advance a career or build expertise in this field. “Pursuing a degree at the Bachelor’s or Master’s level is essential to anyone looking to advance in the industry. Tomorrow’s leaders in this field will have the ability to impact their company’s bottom line by finding intelligent ways for SCM to drive a company’s ability to compete successfully in the global market. Our faculty offers their real world experiences and proven academic credentials in air, surface and maritime transportation, hazardous materials, international trade, and other vital areas to succeed in a global career path.”
