About the Accreditation Process

Introduction to SACSCOC

Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University (FAMU) is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award baccalaureate, masters, professional, and doctorate degrees. Questions about the accreditation of FAMU may be directed in writing to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097, by calling (404) 679-4500, or by using information available on SACSCOC’s website (www.sacscoc.org).

Reaffirmation efforts at Florida A&M are a community effort that includes broad-based participation from all University constituents. The President along with the Provost/Vice President of Academic provide general oversight; however, the operational responsibilities are coordinated by a SACSCOC Leadership Team appointed by the President or Provost.
