Transportation & Logistics Education at UNG Coggin College of Business & UNF Division of Continuing Education in Jacksonville
Established in 1972, University of North Florida (UNF) is a young university and has expanded from a handful of buildings at the end of a dirt road to a thriving campus with five colleges in a bustling section of Jacksonville. Yet UNF retains its small-campus feel, helped by its location amid beautiful lakes and nature trails. The campus also is midway between downtown Jacksonville and the Atlantic Ocean, which adds to the appeal of its location.
In addition to its strong academic programs, UNF makes financial sense. The Princeton Review ranked UNF the 5th best value among public colleges and universities and Consumers Digest named UNF No. 7 on its list of best values for public colleges and universities in the United States.
The Coggin College of Business is the business school at the University of North Florida. About 3,800 students are enrolled in the college, including undergraduate and graduate students.
Programs are offered in the fields of Accounting, Economics, Finance, Financial Services, International Business, Management, Marketing and Transportation and Logistics. The Coggin College of Business is one of UNF's three original colleges.
