Abstract: This paper reviews the history and evolution of the Supply Chain Management (SCM) curricular content. Several trends in the SCM curriculum are discussed, including the integration of Information Technology (IT) throughout the supply chain, the development of cross-disciplinary content, the emerging emphasis on international business in supply chains, the increased attention placed on people and relationships and the growing importance of sustainability and reverse logistics. Next, the supply chain education landscape is discussed and the top-ranked US SCM programmes are analysed and classified into four general groups. Finally, we integrate our findings and offer recommendations for future developments.
