Top ranking marks prime real estate program
For a second straight year, the Florida State University Real Estate Program ranks No. 5 among public universities and No. 8 among all universities – securing a spot in the Top 10 with another college program, the No. 1-ranked Dr. William T. Hold/The National Alliance Program in Risk Management & Insurance. Yvonne Baker, executive director of the FSU Real Estate Center,attributes the program’s upward trajectory to a “cycle of success” that includes faculty members, students, administrators and alumni. “Without one piece of that group, the rest of it derails,” she says. |

Taking the temperature of the housing market
News reports have described it as “hot,” “overheated” and even “scorching.” Of course, we easily could be referring to the College of Business, which boasts six academic programs in the Top 25. But we’re talking about residential real estate, which sustains double-digit price increases in a reported three-quarters of U.S. markets. We asked Mariya Letdin,an associate professor of real estate, to share her expertise on the housing market, with an emphasis on Florida, including ways in which the coronavirus pandemic has driven supply, demand and prices. |

Legacy Hall inspires ‘elevated’ expectations
An impressive site to network and jump-start careers. A spacious location to study, collaborate and aim high. A state-of-the-art place that will propel the college forward. Business students say they think the construction of Legacy Hall will provide a long list of benefits with an overarching result: launching the college to new heights. Meanwhile, university and college officials have intensified efforts to raise funds for the building – the college’s future home – so that they can meet a goal to break ground in fall 2022. |

Health care fast becoming the college’s business
As the U.S. population ages and as reports point to increased job growth and business opportunities in health care, the college is responding. For starters, plans are underway to create a business of health care advisory group to help shape and refine courses and programs. And this year, the college and the Florida Hospital Association are collaborating on the expected launch of the Business of Healthcare Leadership Academy. "The College of Business recognizes the need to offer more programs and educational opportunities that respond to the growing business of health care," Dean Michael Hartline says. |

| Dream secured: Although he had a clear vision to become an accounting professor, Eduardo Fuste was not immediately certain how he would pull off those aspirations financially. But all that changed when Fuste decided to pursue his doctorate degree at the Florida State University College of Business and received a McKnight Doctoral Fellowship. Now, 2021 doctoral degree in hand, Fuste heads to Baruch College, part of The City University of New York, to begin an academic career in a tenure-track post this spring. He hopes to inspire his students to reach beyond “their current limitations or challenging background” through a college education. Fuste shares more of his story on FSU’s Office of Graduate Fellowships and Awards website.
The college’s Graduate Programs Office has started reviewing business Ph.D. applications for its March 1 deadline. Learn more and apply at business.fsu.edu/phd. |
