FMU Accreditation Pardon my typo. I meant to say that FMU is Nationally accredited, not Regionally accredited. They are, however, making an attempt to become regionally accredited.
FMU Accreditation UPDATE: FMU has recently made the decision that they will not be seeking SACS accreditation in the future. In lieu of SACS regional accreditation, FMU will further develop the “common course numbering system” to utilize for those students who also have attended “other” colleges/universities in Florida. This means that regardless of whether a student takes a course at a public or a private school, if the schools utilize the “same” course numbering system, that particular course will be allowable for transfer. Articulation agreements are still in place through many Regionally accredited schools such as Capella, etc.
