The newsletter compiled its rankings by surveying more than 1,500 accounting professors and department heads and chairs who were asked to name PhD programs they had the most regard for in turning out quality accounting professors. Also ranked at the doctoral level was Florida State University, previously unranked, taking No. 23. Among the top 25 graduate programs in accounting: Florida State was No. 19 and University of Florida was No. 21. At the undergraduate level: University of Florida (No. 21) and Florida State (No. 24).

<p>Are your kids in accounting majors?
FSU is a great school. I want to go into law (criminal prosecutor) and also study creative writing and drama. FSU has great resources for those as well.</p>

<p>No - D1 graduated with a degree in biochemistry; D2 is studying dietetics.</p>

<p>Accounting is an excellent major for investigators. Kind of a different mix, though…accounting and creative writing? Seems almost to clash.</p>

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>
