University of Nebraska, Omaha

What you'll study

Study emphasizes practical skills and applied knowledge rather than purely theoretical work. Typical subject areas include supply chain strategy, transportation and distribution, inventory and warehouse management, procurement, demand forecasting, operations management, and the information systems that support logistics. Coursework commonly integrates case studies, software tools and project-based assignments to develop analytical, planning and execution capabilities.

Entry requirements

Admission follows standard undergraduate requirements for a business degree: a high-school diploma or equivalent, academic transcripts, and any institutional prerequisites in mathematics or English. Applicants may need to meet the college of business admission criteria and declare a major or concentration according to university procedures. Transfer students should check how prior coursework maps to core business and major-specific requirements.

Career prospects

Graduates typically enter roles in logistics coordination, transportation management, procurement, warehouse operations, inventory control, demand planning and supply chain analytics. With experience, career paths lead to supply chain management, operations leadership, consulting, or specialist roles in sourcing and distribution. The degree provides foundational skills relevant to manufacturing, retail, third-party logistics, and service industries.

Scholarships & funding angle

Students should explore merit-based scholarships from the university and college of business, need-based aid, and program-specific awards where available. Internship stipends, employer-sponsored tuition assistance and industry scholarships from logistics associations are common supplements. Early planning—consulting financial aid offices and career services—helps align funding strategies with experiential learning opportunities that strengthen employability.
