The University of North Florida continues to
accumulate academic recognition, including a
“best regional” university for the seventh consecutive year
by U.S. News & World Report. Meanwhile, UNF’s Coggin
College of Business has been recognized by The Princeton
Review as one of the nation’s best business schools for 11
consecutive years.
UNF will have an entrepreneurship center located in
downtown Jacksonville as soon as 2018.
The center will be a destination for anyone to pitch their
entrepreneurial ideas. If there is potential, they will be given
space at the center for six months to pursue the project.
Mark Dawkins, dean of the Coggin College of Business,
is overseeing development. He looked at the top 50 most
successful entrepreneur centers in the country for inspiration.
“When you look at entrepreneurship centers that are
successful around the country, most have a university as part
of that process,” said Dawkins.
Dawkins helped put together a task force including entrepreneurs
from all five colleges at UNF. He wanted ideas from
the college of arts, health, education and engineering as well
as business.
UNF marketing students will be able to intern there for
credit, and Dawkins also hopes non-marketing students who
want entrepreneur experience will volunteer as well.
Dawkins wants the center to benefit not only UNF students,
but the Jacksonville community as a whole.
“We are designing the center to be a living, learning lab
for entrepreneurship,” says Dawkins. “It’s all about building a
pipeline of entrepreneurs to benefit the city of Jacksonville.”
UNF’s five colleges offer 53 undergraduate and
28 graduate degree programs.
