Community or state college transfers, and transfers from other universities, are a vibrant component of the BSAc Program. The Fisher School of Accounting uses an applicant pool to select candidates for admission to its Bachelor of Science in Accounting degree program. All applications that meet the minimum standards are placed into a pool from which the most qualified are selected for admission each term. Prospective applicants should pay careful attention to complete all minimum requirements as described in the Junior Transfer Standards listed below in order to be a competitive applicant.

Due to limited capacity, it is unlikely that all candidates who meet the minimum standards for inclusion into the applicant pool will be admitted. Historically, to be a competitive candidate for admission, students have required grade point averages of well above 3.5 (overall and preprofessional) , but the actual admission profile varies annually. GPA profiles of previously admitted classes can be found on the demographics section of the Fisher School website.
It is critical to note that admission decisions are not based exclusively on grades. Admission decisions use a holistic evaluation method which consider attributes such as, but not limited to: pattern of repeated coursework, drops, withdrawals, general education deficiencies, the rigor of electives coursework completed, and the academic reputation of the program attended (its accreditation and affiliation with the Florida SUS system). Although not required, serious candidates are encouraged to complete Calculus 2 (MAC 2234 or MAC 2312). Part C describes other important admission policies.
Read it all.
Key points, keep a very high GPA, it’s a limited access program, you do NOT want to repeat or withdraw from a class, and take Calc 2 (which is no fun).
Good Luck!
