“The field used to be dominated by males. At USF, 55% of our supply chain students are female. 100% of our students get internships. Even better, once they get jobs, the average number of promotions is 2-3 within the three years of being hired by the company. Starting salaries average $55,000 plus bonuses which can get you to $65,000 or $70,000.”

-Dr. Jim Stock
