Academics
The college offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in multiple areas of study.
Undergraduates pursue the Bachelor of Business Administration degree, for which various major and minor fields of study are offered.
Graduates have available three different degree programs. The Master of Accountancy program is designed to prepare students for public accounting careers, providing enough credit hours to sit for state CPA exams. The Master of Science in Management program is a generalist business degree with a focus on management. The Masters of Business Administration program is designed to prepare students to take on advanced leadership roles in business organizations by synthesizing various business disciplines into management strategy.
The MBA program curriculum is structured around three groupings of core subject classes including marketing, management, finance, accounting, and economics. In addition three elective courses are taken. Students have the option to use these electives to concentrate in an area of study, such as further study in core subjects or other areas for example, international business, but are not required to. All core courses are offered in the fall, spring, and summer; electives are generally offered only in the spring and fall. The MBA program maintains a balance in instruction methods utilizing lecture, case studies, and group based projects including simulations.
In addition to these programs Coggin offers a graduate certificate in e-Business.
Student Organizations
The Osprey Financial Group is the college's student managed investment fund. The group is a combination class/student organization; over the course of two semesters selected students are given the opportunity to manage a real portfolio of investments. Students gain real world money management experience as well as experience in using investment tools such as Bloomberg Terminals and Morningstar's investment analysis platform. The group is housed in the State Farm Companies Foundation Center for Financial Research in the Coggin Business Administration Building.
In addition, Coggin is also host to many subject specific clubs and organizations, including:
