Dear friends,

Welcome to the Fall 2025 semester at the Coggin College of Business!

We are proud to begin another academic year with strong momentum and growing impact. This fall, we welcome 2,850 undergraduate students and 556 graduate students, reflecting continued confidence in the quality and relevance of our programs.

New Programs & Continued Innovation

We are thrilled to launch the new MS in Accounting and Data Analytics (MSADA), a forward-thinking program designed to meet the growing demand for analytical skills in the accounting profession. In addition, our Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program now offers a Data Analytics concentration, giving students even more flexibility to tailor their education to emerging industry needs. These programs reflect our commitment to staying at the forefront of business education.

National Recognition

For the 18th consecutive year, The Princeton Review has named the Coggin College of Business one of the Best Business Schools in the nation. This recognition reflects the enduring excellence of our programs, including our on-campus MBA, the nationally ranked Transportation & Logistics program, the unique GlobalMBA, and our newer FinTech and Business Analytics offerings.

We’re especially proud of the outstanding performance acknowledged by the 2025 EduRank.org rankings, which are based on publications and citations. In the supply chain management area, Coggin College of Business ranks 54th in the U.S., 66th in North America, and 216th worldwide. This is a powerful testament to the scholarly impact, industry relevance, and academic leadership of our supply chain management and logistics faculty and the Crowley Center for Transportation and Logistics.
