After the largest voter turnout in the newsletter’s history, Florida State’s accounting programs climbed in every category nationally. The undergraduate program moved up one spot to No. 24. The graduate program — defined by Public Accounting Report as a program offering master’s degrees in accounting or taxation — jumped 4 spots to No. 19, and the doctoral program debuted at No. 23.</p>
<p>“To have such tremendous growth in the rankings in one year is a testament to the strength of the Florida State University accounting programs,” said Bud Fennema, Florida State’s Ernst & Young Professor of Accounting and chairman of the Department of Accounting. “Our students, faculty and staff are what make our programs the best in the state, and some of the best in the country.”</p>
