About this program
Supply Chain & Logistics Management is a fully online bachelor's degree from UW–Porter Falls. An online completion degree covering planning, procurement, transportation, and warehousing for people already working in the field.
It is asynchronous, runs in seven-week terms with six start dates a year, and is taught by the same faculty as Porter's on-campus programs. The transcript and diploma do not distinguish online from on-campus study.
Who it is for
Warehouse, purchasing, planning, and transportation staff with an associate degree or equivalent credits who want to move into analyst and management roles.
Transfer credit
This is a degree-completion program: you transfer in the first roughly 60–72 credits and complete the upper division online. Coursework maps to the major professional certifications in procurement and supply chain; exam-prep support is built into two courses.
Send prior transcripts before you apply and an advisor returns a course-by-course evaluation showing exactly what applies and how many credits remain — usually 33 to 48. Credit from Wesconsin technical colleges is accepted here even where other four-year programs reject it.

Format and pace
Take one course (part-time) or two (full-time) per seven-week term. Part-time, a completion degree finishes in about 2 to 3 years; full-time roughly halves that. You can move between full- and part-time term by term, and pause for a term without reapplying.
Coursework is readings, recorded lectures, discussion, projects, and problem sets with weekly deadlines. Assessment is mostly applied work; where a course needs a proctored exam it uses at-home online proctoring, stated in the syllabus before you register.
Cost
Billed at Porter's flat online per-credit rate with no nonresident surcharge — the same price from any state. Fully online students do not pay the campus activity, recreation, or transit fees; a small per-term online course fee covers the platform and library delivery.
Degree-seeking students file the FAFSA and are eligible for federal aid. For employer tuition assistance, student accounts invoices the employer directly and offers deferred payment that waits for reimbursement. See tuition & costs and financial aid.

Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. This program, its courses, credit values, costs and salary figures are invented; nothing here describes a real degree you can enroll in.
