Syracuse University’s Martin J. Whitman School of Management is the home of the nation's first supply chain management program.  In 1919, at the time of the founding of Syracuse University's College of Business, a "specialization" in Traffic and Transportation was offered. The curriculum consisted of three courses: Railroad Transportation, Water Transportation, and Traffic Management. Since our humble beginnings, we have been regarded as one of the nation’s finest institutions in the training and development of professionals entering this dynamic field. These include:
