When students successfully complete the UMass Boston Navitas GSSP, they will progress directly into the second year of their undergraduate degree program.

The College of Management (CM) at UMass Boston offers a bachelor of science in management (BSM) degree with a full range of management courses and management concentrations that prepare students for specific management responsibilities. The program is built on a solid foundation in the arts and humanities achieved by completing CM's general education requirements. 

Coursework and a whole array of student resources help undergraduate students develop the communication, presentation, and analytical skills required by contemporary managers. More specific, professional development is available through various student activities as well as the career services offered by the College of Management. Students in the BSM program are required to participate in the Management Achievement Program (MAP), a co-curricular program designed to prepare students for their role as management professionals.

Supply Chain and Service Management Concentration

The Supply Chain and Service Management (SCSM) concentration prepares students for critical jobs prominent in the Massachusetts economy and globally. The need for graduates in this area is driven by major changes in the business world. Students learn how to make businesses do more, do it better, and do it as efficiently as possible. The hands-on skills and analytical techniques of SCSM turn a vision into a profitable enterprise. In running the operations of large and complex organizations, SCSM graduates negotiate with suppliers, design customer experiences and the systems that deliver them, and keep the business working. Every business needs supply chain and service management.

A concentration in supply chain and service management provides key skills in major industries such as financial services, health care, tourism and entertainment, education and high-tech development. These skills form the base for a successful and secure long-term career, from entry-level manager growing into senior management as well as opportunities for entrepreneurship.
