Chuck,
MSU offers a blended program.
Master of Science in Supply Chain Management
The Master of Science in Supply Chain Management (MSSCM) program is designed for individuals who wish to expand their supply chain management knowledge but cannot afford to put their careers on hold to participate in a full-time degree program. It is an innovative blend of in-residency classes and e-learning segments taught by leading-edge researchers, teachers and practitioners in the field.
Professionals are returning to universities to acquire a specific, deeper knowledge of supply chain practices and technologies to enhance their professional value. Companies are interested in individuals who have solid business skills, decision-making capabilities and a good understanding of the latest technology developments. They are looking for leaders who have the confidence and capability to bring new ideas to the search for enhanced organizational performance.
The MSSCM program augments a student’s understanding of the role of supply chain management in enterprise strategy. It also introduces students to current SCM operating practices, analysis methods, technology applications and strategy development. It incorporates a rigorous cross-functional blend of courses focusing on the relationship of supply chain management to information technology and innovation processes. In addition, the program offers classes in financial and managerial accounting, marketing and finance to students lacking an undergraduate business background.

Stanford University has a stellar, degree-granting distance learning program in Management Science & Engineering (formerly industrial engineering and operations research). A non-degree option allows you to take courses for credit, which may be transferable to another program (you would need to ask about this in advance).

Arizona State has a supply chain certificate program that can be used to feed into the online MBA program. The regular online MBA program has 3 courses that are categorized as "supply chain": (1) Operations & Supply Management, (2) Project Management, and (3) Management of Technology & Innovation. However, you could add the supply chain certificate to the online degree if you would like to have even more supply chain on your program of study. Please see the attached links for more information.
