President John A. Delaney recently announced that the Transportation & Logistics Program and the International Business Program, both in the Coggin College of Business, have been selected as the University’s latest flagship programs.

“These two business programs are of the highest caliber,” said President Delaney. “Each has the potential to draw talented students from around the world, tackle cutting-edge research projects and help solve problems facing today’s businesses.”

This recognition of excellence will allow the programs to grow and expand. With the additional flagship funding, the Coggin College will establish a Logistics Information Technology Solutions Laboratory, the only such facility in the state. International Business will expand and enhance study abroad activities, starting with new opportunities for intensive language study, both on campus and abroad, for students. Additional faculty leadership positions will be added as well as a Study Abroad Director to lead the program into the future.

“Both the International Business and the Transportation & Logistics programs are an incredible testament to the hard work of our faculty in the Coggin College and the relevance of the programs to our students, alumni and the business community,” said Dr. John McAllister, Dean of the Coggin College.

Last fall, the Transportation & Logistics Program was ranked 13th best in the country, ahead of programs at prestigious colleges such as Stanford and Harvard. This innovative program prepares students for careers in supply chain management, international logistics, transportation and distribution.

UNF’s International Business Program was created 10 years ago and has quickly become a leader in preparing students for careers in the global marketplace. A national exam that all of our graduating seniors take places the Coggin College in the top 5 percent, against more than 500 other schools, in understanding global business concepts. The IB Program prepares students for careers in the global marketplace by supplementing their knowledge of general business issues with courses that teach functional business areas from an international perspective.
