FSU's College of Business rises in rankings

<p>"The undergraduate program at Florida State University's College of Business took the No. 30 spot among public institutions, moving up 12 places on BusinessWeek magazine's just-released rankings of "The Top Undergraduate Business Programs."</p>

<h1>The college also secured the No. 13 spot among public business schools based on a 50-question student survey that covered everything from the quality of teaching to recreational facilities. Specific rankings of their satisfaction with the college's teaching quality, facilities and services and job placement are listed on BusinessWeek's rankings table."</h1>

<p>"Founded in 1950, the FSU College of Business is one of the nation's youngest business schools, yet it has become one of the 10 largest in the United States. It is the second largest academic unit on FSU's campus with an enrollment of 6,356 students and boasts a distinguished full-time faculty of 114, including one Francis Eppes Professor, five eminent scholar chairs, three university-named professorships and 24 endowed professorships.

<p>Thanks for this great info and also for the links.</p>

<p>thanks for the info. it really sounds like the cob has been making big strides over the past severa; years.</p>

<p>While this is good news, I wouldn't put too much stock on the BusinessWeek rankings. They're too erratic and inconsistent to be taken seriously. Their methodology is also questionable. Still, that was a nice mention of the Golf Management program.</p>

<p>For Business School rankings, USNews seems to be the more reliable source.</p>

<p>I agree with FSU MBA on the BW ratings.</p>

<p>Speaking of rankings, why did FSU drop from 112 to 119 in the USNews this past year? I don't understand how a school with so many quality programs in the liberal arts area and increasingly difficult admission stats can be ranked so low amongst other universities.</p>

<p>I also have a hard time grasping that, simply because Florida is such a populous state and that availability in college spots is limited due to such a high amount of high school seniors wanting to attend one of the two flagship universities. I see quite a few schools on that list that I believe don't deserve to be ranked higher than FSU, like ladistar said, we have a lot of highly ranked liberal arts programs, it doesn't make sense.</p>

<p>If there is any drop it will be state-wide and is due to Florida's fiscal crisis.</p>

<p>Actually, FSU is currently ranked at 112. We're tied with schools like Ohio U, Oregon and Loyola-Chicago. Those are not bad schools, but we could do much better. Look for FSU to move up on the rankings with the higher admission standards.</p>

<p>What kind of bump are you expecting from FSU this upcoming year? 10-20 spots a conservative estimate?</p>
