Transportation and Logistics Flagship Program

 

Support from the region’s professional 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.

 

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.

 

The T&L Flagship Program has received considerable state, national and international recognition.

  • Transportation & Logistics was established as an undergraduate degree program in 1972 when the University of North Florida opened its doors.
  • The Florida Board of Regents selected the UNF Transportation and Logistics Program as one of the initial five programs to receive the Florida Legislature's “Program of Distinction” emphasis within the State University System.
  • The Board of Regents designated the program as one of the state university system's “Centers of Excellence.”
  • In 2006, the Coggin Transportation and Logistics and International Business programs were designated Flagship Programs by UNF President John A. Delaney.
