<p>Fisher School Makes Great Gains in New PAR Ranking
Gainesville, Fla. The Fisher School of Accounting has one the most admired undergraduate, graduate and
doctoral programs in the U.S., according to the 28th Annual Survey of Accounting Professors published by
Public Accounting Report (PAR).
The Fisher School earned the distinction of the largest upward move on the undergraduate rankings, jumping
from #21 last year to #10 in this years rankings. Florida also made the biggest move (compared to last year) in
the graduate rankings, from # 21 to No. 13 in the grad rankings.
Fisher School Director Gary McGill stated, "I am always pleased to have external rankings support what we
already know about the high quality of our students, faculty, staff, and programs.
In addition to overall rankings, PAR now classifies programs based on size of accounting faculty (large,
medium, small); Florida falls into the medium size group (although UF graduates as many students as most
programs in the large faculty size group). In this ranking, Fisher is ranked #1 (undergraduate) and #2
(graduate).
Here are the highlights:

<p>To the OP: your ■■■■■■■■ technique needs work.</p>
<p>It is much more effective to casually insert UF references in non-UF related threads than to start a thread about UF that nobody cares about (only 2 replies, including mine).</p>
<p>Most business-oriented CC members are interested in banking and/or consulting, not accounting.</p>
<p>Good luck with your future ■■■■■■■■! Remember, practice makes perfect…</p>
<p>Funny how the ■■■■■ accuses the original poster of “■■■■■■■■” after posting a link that is 100% legit to this area of the message board. </p>
<p>This describes your post, prodigalson:</p>
<p>"In Internet slang, a ■■■■■ is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2]</p>

<p>Excluding your and my responses, you have a grand total of ONE (non-UF related) reply. </p>
<p>Sorry your efforts to ■■■■■ for positive comments re: UF failed…</p>
<p>What other schools are on the list? Is there a link for the list.</p>
<p>Here is the whole list. </p>

<p>Gaming esoteric rankings will get you nowhere…</p>
<p>You say most CC posters are interested in banking, not accounting. But an accounting major can easily get a banking job with a little finance knowledge (which is almost automatic). I’d recommend this for a banker.</p>
