Catalog For School Years 2016-2019
At the time this catalog was produced, every effort was made to assure its accuracy. However, it is subject to change, as we meet our commit-
ment to our students, faculty, governing board, the requirements of the Florida Council of Private Colleges, Inc. (FCPC), and the certification
requirements of the Council of Private Colleges of America, Inc. (CPCA) which exceed the minimum standards of the State of Florida. There-
fore, the University reserves the right to make changes in faculty, programs, curricula, courses, schedules, requirements, tuition, fees, policies,
procedures, and any other aspects without notice. We will notify students of changes in the catalog by e-mail and regular mailings. Please con-
tact the appropriate department for current information, as well as, for additional information or any special requirements.
