FSU graduate and professional programs continue to rise

 

Florida State University’s graduate and professional programs continue to get top marks

“As more students are turning to Florida State University for a graduate education, we’re pleased that U.S. News recognizes the value of the programs we offer.” 

Graduate student enrollment rose along with FSU’s rankings as the university’s graduate enrollment has grown by 83 percent since fall 2017; this far surpasses the goal of 3 percent annual growth, according to the university.

“The record-breaking trajectory of applications and enrollments illuminates how students are looking at our programs and liking what they see,” FSU Graduate School Dean Mark Riley added.

New records were set by the College of Education in the latest rankings as the college moved up two spots to No. 26 overall and one spot to No. 17 among public universities this year.

The college's individual graduate programs also ranked highly among public institutions, including special education (No. 9), higher education (No. 13), education administration (No. 18) and curriculum and instruction (No. 23). 

“Our faculty, staff and students continue to make great strides and positive contributions to their fields,” FSU College of Education Dean Damon Andrew said in a statement. “I’m thrilled to see this hard work reflected in these latest record-breaking rankings.” 

Once again, the College of Business’ MBA specialty in real estate ranked in the top 10 among public schools at No. 9 and in the top 20 nationwide at No. 16.  

The part-time MBA program ranked No. 28 among public part-time, campus-based MBA programs, marking a sizable jump for FSU of moving up 18 places from its previous No. 46 spot. 

FSU’s College of Medicine also rose two spots to No. 11 nationwide and No. 7 among public medical schools in the publication’s ranking of direct patient care programs in professional shortage areas. 

“As the first new medical school of the 21st century, the college takes great pride in our mission of serving our communities,” FSU College of Medicine Dean John P. Fogarty said, “particularly for rural and underrepresented patients.” 

In other rankings:

• The College of Law climbed up one spot to No. 47 in the nation and maintained its No. 24 status among public universities. 
• The FAMU-FSU College of Engineering accumulated a ranking of No. 60 among public institutions, moving up three spots overall. 
• The public management and leadership specialty checked in at No. 10 among public programs; the local government management specialty placed No. 12 among public universities. 
• Statistics ranked No. 21 among public universities, rising 14 spots. 
• FSU’s chemistry program jumped 18 spots in the overall rankings and moved up to No. 27 among public universities. 
• Social work ranked No. 27 among public universities. 
• Biological science climbed 32 spots among national universities; earth sciences rose 37 places.

The Seminoles have several future Pro Bowlers about to enter into the league and have several currently on NFL rosters.
Receiver Anquan Boldin, corner Antonio Cromartie and defensive end Darnell Dockett have all made three Pro Bowls. Former Tampa Bay linebacker Derrick Brooks made an impressive 11 Pro Bowls, several of which have come within the last 10 years.
FSU also has a pair of specialists, kicker Sebastian Janikowski and returner Leon Washington, who have made the Pro Bowl.

Power 5 Conference Payout Estimates

 ACC is a dead conference, slowing kill the schools that hold value.

Power 5 Conference Payout Estimates

Our team estimated the rise in average Power 5 conference payouts over the next 8 years. You can see from the chart above that each conference’s average payout is expected to increase significantly during that time. We project that the SEC will overtake the Big 10 for the top spot, paying out over $100M to member universities by the end of this decade.

A few considerations to keep in mind when analyzing these results:

• These estimates include all Tier I, II, and III media rights for each conference.
• These estimates are based on historical growth rates in college and pro media rights deals.
• These estimates include a new CFP agreement in 2026 with expansion to 8.
• It is widely expected that expansion will occur in some form over this time period. We used an 8-team expansion, rather than the commonly discussed 12-team expansion in an effort to factor in the additional revenue, but remain conservative in our estimation.
• These estimates include current realignment (SEC & Big 12) and their impact on media rights values.
• These new estimates also include how the ACC Network will have a full year of distribution beginning in FY 2023.
• These estimates do NOT reflect any strategies conferences may adopt in the structuring of their media rights, the negotiation process, or other potential moves to maximize value.
• These estimates do NOT reflect adjustments from advance payouts of conference distributions or other COVID related adjustments that are not public knowledge.
• These estimates include additional revenue from NCAA units, bowl payouts, conference championships and other revenue streams beyond media rights; all of these revenues are assumed to have steady growth rates.

 

The following chart further breaks down our year-by-year projections for average per-school payouts from each P5 conference.

State Budget Update

 

Legislature gives FSU $125M for new health center

The FSU Health facility is projected to have an economic impact of about $217M annually and support more than 1,500 jobs.

Florida State University is set to receive $125 million from the Legislature for a proposed project to build an academic health center in Tallahassee.

The funding will help FSU plan and build the Florida State University Health Science Tallahassee Center. The 137,700-square-foot building, whose funding was backed by Senate President Wilton Simpson, will be the cornerstone of development of an academic health center in partnership with Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare (TMH). The facility will be focused on clinical care, research, biomedical innovation and education, said FSU spokesperson Dennis Schnittker.

The budget represents the consensus between the House and the Senate for the state’s financial priorities. Individual spending items are still subject to the Governor’s veto pen, however. Last year, Gov. Ron DeSantis was thought to have wielded a relatively light touch when he slashed $1.5 billion out of the $101 billion budget.

The center will co-locate FSU’s medical and nursing education with clinical and translational research. The university hopes the health center will attract biomedical-related companies and highly skilled faculty, doctors and medical professionals who want the benefits that come with having an advanced education and health care institution like the center.

The five-story building will house the FSU College of Medicine’s Annex Internal Medicine Residency program, the TMH Family Medical Residency program, the Tallahassee Regional Medical School Campus, clinics, simulation labs, and research space for students. FSU Health will also house at least 35 principal investigators, or an individual responsible for the preparation, conduct, and administration of a research grant. The investigators will produce an estimated $17 million in additional grant funding for research.

The facility is projected to have an economic impact of about $217 million annually and support more than 1,500 jobs directly and indirectly, according to Schnittker. During the three-year construction phase, approximately 1,200 jobs will be created.

Another allocation FSU received was $20 million earmarked for operational enhancement. Schnittker said the funding will allow the university to continue to pursue a further climb in the national rankings by hiring more faculty to reduce the student-to-faculty ratio, update facilities and other goals.

In a statement to Florida Politics, FSU President Richard McCullough thanked the Legislature, as well as Speaker Chris Sprowls, Simpson and DeSantis.

“FSU has demonstrated an incredible return on investment of targeted state funding by becoming the fastest improving institution among the Top 50 public universities. Florida State University is grateful for the continued support and investment of the Florida Legislature,” McCullough said. “The support we have received from the state of Florida over recent years has propelled the upward trajectory of FSU.”

FSU also received millions in other allocations, including:

— $72,042,052 for deferred maintenance of FSU, FSU Panama, and FAMU/FSU engineering program buildings.

— $21,256,475 for the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering.

— $8,310,017 for electric infrastructure at FSU’s Magnetic Field Laboratory.

— $10,000,000 for FSU Institute of Child Welfare.

— $1,450,000 for the FSU Multidisciplinary Educational Services Center.

— $1,467,667 for need-based financial aid.

— $1,562,563 for FSU Center for Autism.

— $1,803,970 for a nursing education program grant.

— $500,000 for the FSU Student Veterans Center.

— $200,000 for American Legion’s Boys and Girls State programs.

— $525,000 for FSU’s Behavioral Health Center.

Gov. Ron DeSantis' line-item veto pen now is the only thing standing between the schools and the money

Florida State University could receive $20 million to go toward the operational enhancement of their institution.

That's according to what are known as "supplemental funding" lists released this week as part of the Legislature's proposed $112.1 billion budget for 2022-23 that will be voted on Monday to close out the annual legislative session.

Lawmakers are expected to pass the budget, meaning the only thing standing between the schools and the money is Gov. Ron DeSantis' line-item veto pen.

FSU money will help in rankings, president says

FSU’s operational enhancement funding will allow the university to continue moving into the category of Top 15 public universities in the nation, a spokesperson said. It's now No. 19 in the Top 20 for the third consecutive year.

“To be greater, we will continue to invest in academic excellence and student success,” FSU President Richard McCullough said during his inaugural address.

FSU plans to strategically invest in:

1. Recruiting and supporting "excellent" undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty and staff. 
2. Enhancing and updating university facilities. 
3. Continuing the growth of their distinctive and productive research base with high level faculty hiring, particularly in the STEM fields to improve research productivity, teaching and national reputation as a top research university. 
4. Improving their State University System-leading transfer student success, particularly for Florida College System Associate in Arts degree transfers. 
5. Reducing the student-to-faculty ratio to advance teaching and research at the university.

Other Board

Is this just football revenue, or total revenue just for football schools?

According to Porcine's link, it's total.

FWIW, I always wonder about the "Equity" data because apparently it includes student fees and transfers as 'revenue'. I like seeing that broken out.

For example, looking at FSU's data, the "Equity" database says FSU had $155m in revenues and expenses that year. The books balanced perfectly, revenues equaled expenses.

But, this article says that FSU actually had $129m in operating revenues, leaving it with a $26m operating deficit. I find that information more enlightening.
