Jun 28, 2023
Houston Community College (HCC) students will now be able to earn a degree in Logistics and Global Supply Chain Management at HCC’s Katy campus beginning with the Fall 2023 semester. The Katy campus will offer both a Level 1 certificate and an Associate of Applied Sciences degree in a field that is part of every industry and involves all the activities that make the global flow of goods and services possible.
“With the growth of industry and business warehousing in West Houston and the Katy area, offering the logistics program at our Katy campus only makes sense,” said Dr. Zachary Hodges, HCC Northwest President.
The Logistics and Global Supply Chain Management program incorporates business logistics, operations, project management and supply chain technology classes into a global supply chain focus. This multifaceted approach prepares students for careers in all industries.
Some of the representative career titles and job positions for this program plan include logistics coordinator or specialist, production/operations planner, warehouse and distribution supervisor, import/export freight coordinator, retail and wholesale coordinator, and freight forwarding opportunities across truck, rail, ocean and air transportation.
“This program benefits those who are new to the field, as well as those currently working in logistics supply chain,” said Shari Carter, program director of Logistics & Global Supply Chain, Maritime Transportation, and International Business. “Those who are already working in the field may need an industry certification to show proficiencies in logistics supply chain technology across material handling, software knowledge and abilities to optimize their effectiveness through enhanced education to provide the necessary efficiencies within the rapid technology advances in the workforce.”
Graduates of the program will enter a profession that, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, has a projected job growth of 30 percent within the next decade. The earning potential for graduates ranges from an average of $60,165 at entry level, $104,610 at mid-level, to $168,726 at senior level.
