Help Walton College Retain the No. 1 Spot: Take the Brief Gartner Survey
Take the 2022 Gartner survey by Jan. 31 and help keep the #1 ranking for supply chain management undergraduate program!
Gartner, a leading technology research and consulting company, identifies the top 25 supply chain undergraduate university programs in North America every two years. The research firm recently released its 2022 supply chain program survey, a key factor in its research.
In 2020, the supply chain management program at the Sam M. Walton College of Business at the U of A catapulted to the No. 1 spot! Help the Department of Supply Chain Management keep this prestigious ranking by participating in this year's survey.
The brief two-question survey, which will be open through Jan. 31, is open to all with a professional work email address. No private or university email addresses are allowed. Survey responses regarding program reputation contribute to Gartner's analysis of supply chain undergraduate programs.
To assist industry, the company evaluates university supply chain management programs through three criteria:
- Industry Value
Which universities have the top five supply chain management programs, and which universities do you recruit from? This relates to the survey, and anyone may respond. - Program Size
How many full-time students and full-time faculty does Walton College have in its supply chain management program? - Program Scope
How does Walton College's curriculum measure up to 12 specific capabilities needed for successful careers?
