The Big Story

Florida State University’s online programs are among the best in the nation — including three graduate programs ranked in the Top 10 — according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2016 Best Online Programs.

It was a banner year for Florida State University. The university received the largest gift in its history and selected a new provost. Our faculty members produced some remarkable research, our students were honored with national awards for their success and our athletics teams continued their tradition of competing at the highest level of intercollegiate sports.

Florida State University announced Dec. 18 the largest gift in its history — $100 million — from Jan Moran and The Jim Moran Foundation to honor the late Jim Moran and create what will be the nation’s largest interdisciplinary, degree-granting school of entrepreneurship.
