The Coggin College of Business at the University of North Florida is one of the nation’s most outstanding business schools, according to The Princeton Review. The company features UNF’s Coggin College in the new 2018 edition of its annual guidebook, “The Best 267 Business Schools.” For the last 11 years, Coggin College has consecutively earned this recognition.
“We are very pleased that the Princeton Review has included the UNF Coggin College of Business in its prestigious list of ‘Best Business Schools’ for 11 consecutive years,” said. Dr. Mark Dawkins, dean of the Coggin College of Business at UNF. “This recognition is a testament to the outstanding faculty and staff in Coggin, the quality of our students, the relevance of our undergraduate and graduate programs and support from employers and corporate partners.”
UNF has recently received several other national designations, including 2018 “Best in the Southeast” by Princeton Review, 2018 “Best Regional” University by U.S. News & World Report, 2018 “Best Colleges” by College Factual and the 2017 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award and Diversity Champion, both from Insight into Diversity magazine, to name a few.
The Princeton Review tallied its lists based on its surveys of 23,000 students attending the business schools profiled in the book. The 80-question survey asked students to rate their schools on several topics and report on their experiences at them. Some ranking list tallies also factored in school-reported data. The Princeton Review doesn’t rank the schools in the book from 1 to 267 or name one business school best overall.
“We recommend UNF as one of the best to earn an MBA. We chose the 267 schools in this book based on our high regard for their academics and our assessment of institutional data we collect from the schools,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review senior vice president-publisher.
“The Best 267 Business Schools: 2018 Edition” has two-page profiles of the schools with write-ups on academics, student life and admissions. In the profile on UNF, the Princeton Review describes UNF as “the best school in Jacksonville,” and MBA students laud the “small classes” at Coggin College. One student says they “had the best experience with the teachers and students. It was an easy decision to continue my education at UNF.” The profile also says that Coggin has an “amazing logistics program.”
The profiles have five categories of ratings that The Princeton Review tallies based on institutional data it collected during the 2016-17 academic year and/or its student survey for the book. The ratings are scores on a scale of 60 to 99. Rating categories include academic experience, admissions selectivity, career, interesting professors and accessible professors. The Princeton Review explains the basis for each rating score in the book at http://www.princetonreview.com/business-school-rankings/ratings.
In May 2006, Coggin College had two of its programs—Transportation and Logistics and International Business—selected as UNF flagship programs. Both business programs were selected because they are of the highest caliber and each has the potential to draw talented students from around the world, tackle cutting-edge research projects and help solve problems facing today’s businesses. This recognition of excellence allows these business programs to grow and expand.
With more than 3,800 students, the Coggin College’s mission is to educate and develop business professionals through rigorous, relevant accredited degree programs offered by faculty devoted to student learning and engaged in scholarly activities. Since 1976, the Coggin College of Business has been accredited by AACSB—only one in five business schools are awarded the accreditation, which honors the best business schools in the world. The AACSB is the world leader in accreditation for business education.

University of North Florida Recognized as National Diversity Champion
The University of North Florida has been recognized among a select group of colleges and universities across the country as a Diversity Champion by INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine. Diversity Champions exemplify an unyielding commitment to diversity and inclusion throughout their campus communities, across academic programs and at the highest administrative levels.
“The position of UNF as a regional and now national stakeholder for diversity and inclusion speaks volumes regarding leadership attributes that made this possible at all levels of the university,” said Cheryl Gonzalez, chief diversity officer at UNF.
Fifteen colleges and universities nationwide have received the Diversity Champion designation this year. Selected institutions ranked in the top tier of the Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award recipients. The HEED Award, which UNF received earlier this month and two other times previously, is presented annually by INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine to recognize colleges and universities that are dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive campus environment.
“The University of North Florida is a visionary leader among campus communities striving for diversity and inclusion,” said Lenore Pearlstein, publisher of INSIGHT Into Diversity. “As a Diversity Champion school, UNF exceeds everyday expectations, often eclipsing even its own goals, and develops successful strategies that serve as models of excellence for other higher education institutions.”
UNF continues to make great strides to foster its commitment to diversity and inclusion in employment, education and business in a variety of ways. For example, the Commission on Diversity and Inclusion at UNF started a Courageous Conversations speaker series that is free to students, faculty, staff and the community, covering a variety of topics such as racism, relationship violence and intersectionality.
The University also joined the Collaborative to Advance Equity Through Research, a national coalition of institutions committed to supporting/advancing research addressing the lives of women and girls of color.
Additionally, the UNF Division of Student Affairs also established the Department of Diversity Initiatives (DDI) to promote diversity and inclusion on campus. DDI includes the realignment of the Women’s Center, the Intercultural Center for Peace, theInterfaith Center and the Victim Advocacy Program as well as the newly established Student Alliance for Inclusion and Diversity.
INSIGHT Into Diversity is known for its annual Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award, which is the only award recognizing colleges and universities for outstanding diversity and inclusion efforts across campuses. In addition to its online job board, INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine presents timely, thought-provoking news and feature stories on matters of diversity and inclusion across higher education and beyond.
UNF Professor Emeritus Honored for Service by Belize Government
Dr. Betty Flinchum, Professor Emerita of Curriculum and Instruction in the University of North Florida’s College of Education and Human Services (COEHS), was presented with the Order of Distinction, a high honor by the government of Belize. Flinchum is the first ever non-Belizean citizen to receive the honor.
“This tribute has given me the greatest joy imaginable,” said Flinchum. “I am sincerely grateful to all my former students, colleagues, Belizeans friends and families, to the Belize government and to all the Belizean people for this great honor and the privilege to work with this country for more than 30 years. I felt humbled to be among those honored and upon receiving my honor, I felt truly Belizean.”
Flinchum was recognized in a formal Tribute to Belizean Patriots ceremony September 14 for giving years of service to the country, in supporting educational programs and facilitating a process where more than 500 Belizean nationals have been able to earn degrees from the University. In attendance at the presentation was a large group of alumni, coworkers, junior college presidents, deans and friends.
“There are hundreds of Belizean professionals whose lives have been positively impacted and changed forever by Dr. Betty Flinchum. Her sterling contribution is through her personal commitment and dedication to Belize’s development,” according to the program from the Belizean Office of the Prime Minister.
Flinchum served for 32 years as a professor of education and director of International Programs at UNF, now called the International Center. As a founding faculty member, she initiated and developed the University’s international programs, which included the establishment of study-abroad programs, international student programs, faculty linkages and exchanges with numerous countries. During her tenure there, UNF’s international student body grew to include young scholars from over 100 foreign countries.
On her retirement, she was elected as Emeritus, an honor and high distinction for retired faculty at the University. She initiated a government-funded international program between the University and Belize in 1986, founding the Consortium on Belize Educational Cooperation, and she currently continues to consult with the University on this project and in other areas of international outreach.
In the early part of her career, she taught in university positions related to the areas of movement education, motor development of young children and teacher education. As her academic career progressed, she served in university administrative positions for the majority of her career and focused on international education and international development. Flinchum had a distinguished career in education as a teacher, professor, director and administrator at several universities.
In addition to her professional career, Flinchum has been involved in several philanthropic endeavors. During her tenure at UNF, she gave the initial monies to establish two scholarships, the Sir Colville Young Endowed Scholarship/Fellowship for Belizeans who wish to study education, and the Ellis F. White Founding Faculty Endowed Scholarship/Fellowship for need-based students in COEHS.
Flinchum volunteers as an international programing consultant for educational institutions in the United States and abroad and continues to provide custom-designed international tours for individual and group travel. Her most recent writing project “A Cultural Legacy: Sir Colville Norbert Young, GCMG, MBE, and D.Phil. Governor-General of Belize” was published in 2008 and is an authorized biography of a prominent Belizean colleague and friend.
A few of her notable awards are the Lifetime Achievement Award in International Development given by the City of Jacksonville for her significant work toward making Jacksonville an international city, the International Development Award for distinguished service to UNF, and the Honorary Alumna Award for her devotion to students and initiating/developing the University’s international program. Most recently, in October, 2013, she was honored as a Woman of Distinction by her alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
Flinchum earned her bachelor’s degree at Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina in 1957, her Master’s in Education from University of North Carolina in 1962, and a philosophy doctorate from Louisiana State University in 1972.

Princeton Review Names UNF ‘Best in the Southeast’ College
For the ninth consecutive year, the University of North Florida is one of the best colleges in the Southeast, according to The Princeton Review. The nationally-known education services company recommends UNF in its “Best in the Southeast” list for 2018.
Only 140 colleges and universities in 12 Southeastern states made the “Best in the Southeast” list for 2018. The list is part of the company’s website feature, “2018 Best Colleges: Region by Region.”
“We’re thrilled that UNF is being recognized as an all-around outstanding academic institution within the Southeast by The Princeton Review,” said UNF President John Delaney. “This prestigious recognition affirms the tremendous on-going effort UNF has put forth to build one of the finest universities in the state.”
The Princeton Review editors made their selections based on data the company collected from its survey of administrators at several hundred colleges in each region as well as its staff visits to schools over the year and the perspectives of college counselors and advisors whose opinions the company solicits.
“We chose UNF and the other institutions we name as ‘regional best’ colleges mainly for their excellent academic programs,” said Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s senior vice president and publisher.
The Princeton Review survey asks students attending the schools to rate their own schools on several issues—from the accessibility of their professors to the quality of their science lab facilities—and answer questions about themselves, fellow students and campus life.
Students at the University say, “There is no typical student at UNF.” Filled with “friendly” people, UNF possesses “all the aspects of a huge state college with a much more laid back feel.” Professors were praised for their accessibility, with students reporting that they’ve “never had a situation where a professor was unavailable.” Students also say at UNF, “you’re not a number, you’re a person.”
The Princeton Review doesn’t rank the 658 colleges in its “2018 Best Colleges: Region by Region” list hierarchically or in various categories. The 140 colleges that The Princeton Review chose for its “Best in the Southeast” 2018 list are located in 12 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
The Princeton Review also designated 229 colleges in the Northeast, 127 in the West, and 158 in the Midwest as best in their locales on the company’s “2018 Best Colleges: Region by Region” lists. Collectively, the 658 colleges on The Princeton Review’s “regional best” list constitute about 25 percent of the nation’s 2,500 four-year colleges.
The Princeton Review is an education services company known for its test-prep courses, tutoring, books and other student resources. For more information, visit www.princetonreview.com.
