Transportation and Logistics Flagship Program

 

The support of the local business community, inauguration of the LITSLAB, Flagship Program designation and Jacksonville's geographic advantage, have placed the UNF Transportation and Logistics Flagship Program among the best in the nation.

 

UNF placed 14th in number of articles published in seven prominent logistics journals according to research published in the Journal of Business Logistics (2010).

 

The Intermodal Association of North America (IANA) awarded the UNF Transportation and Logistics Flagship Program an unrestricted annual gift of $50,000 guaranteed for three years. UNF is one of only 7 universities to achieve this distinction.

 

The UNF program offers students an opportunity to learn about state-of-the-art supply chain tools and solutions in the Logistics Information Technology Solutions Lab (LITSLAB) . The LITSLAB is one of the best-equipped university labs of its kind with software donations valued at $1.3 million.
