MBA- Business Administration Major
 GlobalMBA Track

Summary of Change:
The proposal is to add a GlobalMBA track to the MBA program.
Rationale:
This request is in keeping with Coggin's commitment to become a leader in offering innovative international business education. Moreover, firms are demanding more MBAs who have lived abroad. The GlobalMBA helps to satisfy that demand with significant time abroad.
Overview:
The GlobalMBA is offered by the consortium consisting of UNF, the University of Warsaw ( Poland), and the University of Applied Sciences Cologne ( Germany). Each school accepts up to ten students (UNF is allowed 12 students) per year. The students complete the entire, fixed program as a cohort. All instruction is in English. Student mobility issues are handled through bilateral agreements between partners, as well as via a consortium agreement among all three partners.
Curriculum:
The curriculum is attached. There are 57 total credit hours, with each being a 3-credit course. The University of Applied Sciences teaches 5 courses (15 credits). The University of Warsaw teaches 7 courses (21 credits). UNF teaches 7 courses (21 credits). Students must also complete a thesis, which is a zero-credit graduation requirement. Note that the Coggin College has received permission from the Graduate Council to award the UNF MBA with 21 hours taught on the UNF campus, rather than the standard 24.
Degrees Earned:
Upon completion of the program, students earn an MBA from UNF and a "European Master's Degree" jointly administered by the two European partners. Students must complete all degree requirements to earn any degree, so that students either earn zero degrees or two degrees.
Substitution of Courses into MBA:
Some courses are used toward the UNF MBA (36 hours), while the remaining courses are used toward the European degree (21 hours plus the thesis). A table outlining the substitution pattern from GlobalMBA to MBA is attached. Note that some MBA courses are replaced with international versions of the course (e.g., Global Economics replaces Economics of Business Decisions), in keeping with the spirit of the GlobalMBA. In addition, each term the GlobalMBA includes a course in applied intercultural communication that focuses on the host country, as well as an Asia-focused version taught at UNF. click here to view the program of study

MBA- Business Administration Major
ALL Tracks

Summary of Change:
An MBA student may use a maximum of ONE of the following short-term study abroad courses in his/her program of study (currently, it is possible for students to use up to 3 of these courses as the three MBA electives):
ACG 6957 Study Abroad in Accounting
ECO 6957 Study Abroad in Economics
FIN 6957 Study Abroad in Financial
GEO 6956 Study Abroad in Geography
MAN 6957 Study Abroad in Management
MAR 6957 Study Abroad in Marketing
TAX 6957 Study Abroad in Taxation
TRA 6957 Study Abroad in Transportation and Logistics
Note that this request leaves both the number of credit hours in the MBA and the number of elective hours in the MBA unchanged.
Rationale:
The short-term study abroad courses were created to give working professionals an international educational experience to help them understand how globalization is changing the business environment. That is, they were designed to supplement the classroom courses in the MBA, not to supplant them. The expectation of the faculty, as well as the business community, is that the MBAs must also have a threshold level of academic subject knowledge obtained in traditional classroom situations. Restricting the number of short-term study abroad courses to one accomplishes these objectives.

TRA 4202

Logistics Systems Management

Proposal:
That TRA3035 (Fundamentals of Transportation) become a pre-requisite for this course - TRA4202 (Logistics Systems Management).
Justification:
1) This added pre-requisite will better prepare Transportation and Logistics majors for 4000 level courses;
2) Currently, there is no TRA-designated Coggin College of Business foundation course; and
3) This added pre-requisite will provide knowledge which will increase the Transportation and Logistics majors’ performance in upper level TRA-designated courses.

Proposal:
That TRA3035 (Fundamentals of Transportation) become a pre-requisite for this course - TRA4155
(Supply Chain Management).
Justification:
1) This added pre-requisite will better prepare Transportation and Logistics majors for 4000 level courses;
2) Currently, there is no TRA-designated Coggin College of Business foundation course; and
3) This added pre-requisite will provide knowledge which will increase the Transportation and Logistics majors’ performance in upper level TRA-designated courses.

APC 3

BBA- Transportation and Logistics Major

Summary of Change:
Proposal:
Include TRA4210 (Logistics Sub-Systems Analysis) as a Major Requirement for the Transportation & Logistics (T&L) major.
Explanation:
TRA4210 focuses on students’ understanding and utilizing/applying quantitative tools and analytical techniques to solve logistics problems. In today’s increasingly high-technology industry, quantitative and analytical skills have been identified as a most urgently needed requirement for UNF Transportation & Logistics graduates, as identified and committed to by the UNF Transportation & Logistics Flagship proposal.
Justification:
The addition of TRA4210 increases the Major Requirement for the T&L major from 15 hours to 18 hours, which is either the same number of hours required for the Marketing major, or less than the number of hours required by the Management major in the Coggin College of Business. The addition of TRA4210 will not change the number of TRA elective hours (i.e., 3 hours) required in the major. It will change the number of required Business elective hours from 15 semester hours to 12 semester hours; this is still more than that required by the Management major (which requires 9 semester hours of Business electives) for example. click here to view the program of study
