Courses in purchasing, procurement, and materials management are being introduced by business schools in increasing numbers. Community colleges have introduced courses and comprehensive two‐year programs. Some schools have combined coursework into a concentration or major at the undergraduate level, and at the graduate level as well. Continuing education and certification programs are also available and growing. A review of the literature, as well as survey results obtained from selected business schools on their approaches to this field, are presented in this article.
