- I am only a freshman in high school and this college has me wanting to apply today! I want to major in Logistics and this college says that i have to have a bachelors degree in something other than business management to move on to my masters in Logistics. I wish it offered a bachelors in Logistics too! I really would like to go to this school and hopefully i will feel the same in about 3 years!
