    In spring 2015 The Louisiana Board of Regents approved our executive format Master of Science in Transportation (MS) degree at the University of New Orleans, making it the first degree of its kind in the state. The program, which launched in the fall semester of 2015, is one of the first in the United States that trains students in multimodal freight and passenger transportation system.
