Transportation and Logistics Flagship Program
The
UNF Transportation and Logistics Flagship Program is considered among the best
in the nation thanks to an active and supportive regional professional
community, inauguration of the high tech LITSLAB (Logistics Information
Technology Systems LAB), designation as a Flagship Program and Jacksonville's
geographic advantage as an international transportation hub. Click below to
