The Fisher School of Accounting is the accounting program at the University of Florida. In 1977, the School of Accounting was established by the Florida Board of Regents as a separate school within the Warrington College of Business Administration, and was endowed in 1985 by Frederick Fisher. Dr. John Simmons was the founding Director of the Fisher School. The School first conferred degrees in accounting in December 1978 although accounting has existed as a program in some form since 1928.
