MS Global Supply Chain Management Internships/Co-Op

Internships and co-ops, short for “cooperative education,” are excellent real-world learning opportunities. These workplace experiences, invaluable for master’s students, are carried out in conjunction with a globally recognized and respected supply chain management graduate degree.

Master of Global Supply Chain Management (MSGSCM) students are eligible to participate in an internship or co-op earn course credit regardless of the length of the experience. The credit is awarded for the onsite experience but also for preparation activities and a reflection report after the internship or co-op.

Purdue’s graduate programs place a premium on flexibility, making sure programs work for our students. Eligible MSGSCM students can take advantage of several internship/co-op tracks, designed to help students make the most of these experiential learning opportunities.

What's the difference between an internship and a co-op?

The main difference between an MSGSCM program internship and a co-op is the duration of the commitment and the timing of the experience.
