The Warrington College of Business traces its roots to 1926, when the University of Florida established its College of Commerce and Business Administration. It was later renamed in honor of alumnus and benefactor Hugh Warrington. Today it is one of the largest and most respected public business schools in the nation, consistently ranking among the top public undergraduate and graduate programs and known for strengths in accounting, finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, and real estate.
Students experience the energy of a major SEC university, with Gator football, a vast alumni base, and over 1,000 student organizations alongside business-specific clubs and case competitions. Warrington is distinguished by its Heavener School of Business-style programs, strong career services, and an extensive alumni network concentrated in Florida and across the Southeast. Programs include the highly ranked Hough Graduate School of Business, with MBA options in full-time, evening, and online formats, plus specialized master's degrees in accounting, finance, and management.
