[phillyboy]

<p>How difficult is the college of business at FSU and i was also wondering is the college of business at FSU considered a good school or one of the better schools at FSU? Any information would be helpful!</p>

<p>Business major difficulty depends generally on the subject. Accounting is typically considered the most challenging. Accounting is much like mathematics and requires lots of time working the problems. Accounting exams can be hours long and a real bear.</p>

<p>Finance is considered easier than accounting. The easiest business major is usually marketing.</p>

<p>The FSU College of Business has some nice external national rankings (See: [FSU</a> Highlights](<a href=“Rankings | Florida State University”>Rankings | Florida State University) and is an excellent state university business program. The dean of the College is very ambitious and works hard to ensure her College ranks well. </p>

<p>An FSU business graduate was recently selected by Warren Buffett as his successor:

Mr. Buffett says he and Mr. Munger were sold on Mr. Combs not only because of his ability and intelligence but also because they were convinced he would fit in to Berkshire’s no-fuss culture.</p>

<p>Mr. Combs, a Sarasota, Fla., native who is still partial to his alma mater Florida State Seminoles football team, struck a lasting impression, Mr. Buffett says. He and Mr. Munger arrived at the decision based on the same kind of “gut check” they make with acquisitions of companies.</p>

<p>“He is a 100% fit for our culture,” Mr. Buffett says. “I can define the culture while I am here, but we want a culture that is so embedded that it doesn’t get tested when the founder of it isn’t around. Todd is perfect in that respect.”
