LIT is STEM-Business Focused – Open to All SBPA and SEAS Majors
Compared to other Universities in the DC Metropolitan Area, UDC is the only school that offers a Logistics and International Trade (LIT) Analytics program in the School of Business and Public Administration.
First of its kind program in the District of Columbia & Metropolitan Area, offering students an advantage and competitive edge within the job market.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in occupations related to global logistics and international trade analytics is projected to grow by more than 20% from 2020 to 2030; however, STEM-Business concepts are rarely offered in traditional engineering and business curricula.
This program seeks to produce a future-oriented skilled workforce in the area of LIT. The United States business LIT sector costs are estimated at $1.494 Trillion or 7.7% of Nominal GDP, supporting 37% of all jobs, employing 44 million people, requiring STEM-business skills for innovation potential.
