The MBLE Program
One of only a few similar programs at top universities in the country, the MBLE is designed to enable graduates to enter the job market equally comfortable with logistics strategy, the management of logistics operations, and engineering tasks such as facility design and implementation of logistics technology. Purposely keeping the program size small and selective we recruit the finest students and attract some of the most sought-after career opportunities in the country.
The Course Work
The MBLE is a 45-credit-hour program. It includes courses in logistics and supply chain management, warehouse design, logistics technology, mathematical programming and computer simulation. Students taking 16 credits per quarter may complete the program in 9 months, while students taking 12 credits per quarter will complete the program in 15 months.
Our Faculty
The MBLE draws its faculty from the Fisher College’s Department of Marketing and Logistics and the College of Engineering’s Department of Integrated Systems Engineering – both ranked in the top 20 in their fields by U.S. News & World Report. MBLE faculty are committed to teaching new ideas and creating new knowledge. This makes for a relevant and engaging learning environment where you’ll be able to dig in and challenge yourself. Our faculty are considered top leaders in their field yet they know you individually and are interested in your progress and ideas. For more information on faculty research, please visit the Fisher College of Business Marketing & Logistics faculty site and the College of Engineering's Department of Integrated Systems Engineering page.
OSU faculty members are also very involved with industry problems and practices and use industry ties to make the MBLE program applied and relevant. Industry contacts are also fundamental to generating summer internships and placements.
