The Honors Program at UNF is designed for the student who is intellectually mature and seeks the challenge of academic work that is different from the traditional course of study. It offers students a close collegial relationship with the University’s top professors and with each other. There are two types of honors programs at the University of North Florida. The first is a lower-level program open to freshmen and sophomores offered by the Hicks Honors College. The second is the “Honors in the Major” program open to upper-level students in the Coggin College of Business. A student does not have to be in the lower-level Hicks Honors College to enroll in the upper-level “Honors in the Major” program.
The Coggin College “Honors in the Major” program includes a mentor experience, an individualized curriculum, a research experience, an honors colloquium, and special recognition on the student’s transcripts and diploma. Admission is competitive and limited to students who have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better. More information on additional admission requirements and procedures, contact the Coggin College of Business Advising Office at (904) 620-2575.
The Coggin College of Business supports and encourages undergraduate students to study abroad.
Today's job market seeks graduates who have gained skills beyond those learned in the classroom; independence, cross-cultural communication, adaptability, flexibility, and open-mindedness are just a few of the traits an international double degree program can help cultivate. Coggin College of Business students who participate in our international double degree programs complete two years of study at UNF, two years of study at a partner university overseas, and a five-month internship abroad in just over four years. Upon graduation, students earn (1) a bachelor of business administration (BBA) with a major in international business from UNF, and (2) a bachelor’s degree from one of our partner institutions. Coggin currently offers a double degree program with KEDGE Business School (France), and is in the process of developing double degrees with universities in Spain, Germany and the UK.
