Supply Pathway is operated by Pacific Shores Research Group, LLC, a U.S.-based digital publishing company founded in 2020. We built this site because finding clear, trustworthy information about supply chain and logistics education is harder than it should be.
Most program pages bury the details that decide whether a degree is right for you, and most “best degree” lists are thin. Our goal is to give prospective students what they actually need to make a sound decision about their education: accurate program data, honest comparisons, and content written by people who understand the field rather than content marketers.
Who writes our content
We don’t hand our writing to generalists. Our contributors are supply chain professionals, logisticians, and operations educators, including ASCM (APICS) members, who have worked in the roles and studied in the kinds of programs we cover.
Our reviewers verify accreditation, tuition, and curriculum against primary sources, and they can speak to what a program is like once you are in it. When a section calls for specialized knowledge, procurement, transportation, demand planning, or analytics, we bring in someone who has done that work. You can read more about our contributors on their author pages.
How we create content
Every page on Supply Pathway goes through several rounds of work before it goes live.
Writers start with research, pulling from accreditor databases (AACSB, ACBSP, IACBE), regional accreditor records, state university systems, professional organizations like ASCM and CSCMP, and Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Tuition and program details come from each school’s official catalog and bursar page, not from aggregators.
From there, our editorial team reviews each piece for accuracy and clarity. We confirm that program details, tuition figures, and accreditation status match what the schools and accreditors actually report. If something does not check out, it gets fixed before publication, and errors found after publication are corrected promptly.
We are not perfect, and program data changes often. We take accuracy seriously, and we would rather publish late than publish something wrong.
How we keep content current
Program data has a shelf life. Tuition rises, programs change format, new accreditation decisions come through, and hiring patterns shift. We handle updates in two ways.
Data-driven content, such as tuition, program counts, and accreditation status, is re-verified each academic year against the original sources. Informational content, such as career guides, specialization overviews, and comparison articles, is reviewed on the same annual cycle for outdated recommendations, broken links, and anything that no longer reflects current practice.
If you spot an error or something that looks out of date, we want to hear about it. Email our editorial team at info@pacshores.co and someone will respond within two business days.
Editorial independence
We keep our editorial work separate from how the site is funded. Any sponsored or paid placement that appears on Supply Pathway is clearly labeled and kept separate from our independently reviewed program rankings. Compensation from a school or advertiser does not influence how we rank, review, or describe programs, and our rankings and comparisons are produced independently.
Our reviewers make content decisions on the merits. The reader’s interest comes first.
Conflicts of interest
Some of our contributors work for universities, employers, or organizations that appear on the site. When that is the case, we disclose the connection on the relevant page, and our editorial team still makes the final call on the content independently.
