The UCF College of Business Administration\u2019s (#UCFBusiness) Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Master of Science in Accounting programs were ranked among the top 50 in the nation by Accounting.com. The list examined accounting programs at private and public colleges and universities in the U.S.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very pleased to see that our undergraduate and master\u2019s accounting programs are beginning to get more external recognition. The Accounting.com top 50 rankings for both programs are a reflection of the hard work and accomplishments of the Dixon School of Accounting faculty over the last 5 years,\u201d said Sean Robb, Ph.D., director of #UCFBusiness\u2019 Kenneth G. Dixon School of Accounting.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really impressive when you realize that there are over 1200 U.S. business schools with undergraduate accounting programs.\u201d<\/p>\n
To be included in Accounting.com\u2019s rankings, a school must report at least two out of the four following metrics: acceptance rate, enrollment rate, retention rate and graduation rate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe high level of faculty engagement with students through office hours, College of Business events, and student organizations is what gives the Dixon School an edge in accounting education. I have never felt like I was on my own in this program, which is why I was eager to return for an M.S.A.,\u201d said Renee Giron, \u201915, accounting alumna and former college student ambassador.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile it may not be tested on the CPA exam, the positive connections with other students and faculty are what drive me and many others to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
