Research centers & professional institute
The college is host to three research centers, one applied academics center, and one institute:
- Center for Decision and Information Technologies is a partnership among UNT, industry, and other universities that focus on information technology management, education, and research
- Institute of Petroleum Accounting, founded 36 years ago
- Murphy Center for Entrepreneurship, in its seventeenth year
- Center for Logistics Education and Research partners with industry to innovate and structure advanced logistics and supply chains in Texas and around the globe
- Professional Development Institute is an educational enterprise founded forty-three years ago within the College of Business and, in December 1982, restructured as a non-profit, tax exempt Texas corporation. A component of its mission is to provide continuing education required for professional certifications such as the CPA. PDI draws upon scholars and adjunct industry practitioners to provide training in subjects that include petroleum accounting, professional accounting, insurance, information systems, finance, and management. As an example of PDI's reach in the past, in 1983, it sponsored 436 programs in 93 cities in 31 states and six countries. PDI was the impetus for erecting a Sheraton hotel and conference center in 1985 through a lease on the site of the university's golf course clubhouse. The university took over the lease from Radisson and demolished the structure in 2009 to make way for a new, larger conference center. As of 2010, CPE courses -- which historically have accounted for much of PDI's enrollment -- have been offered online.
