Beginning in 1985, the State of Florida instituted the College Preparatory or Pre-Collegiate Program. Students who score below a certain level on specified sub-tests of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or the American Collegiate Test (ACT) are placed in the College Preparatory Program. Upon entering the university, these students are given placement tests to determine their need to be in the College Preparatory Program. Students who score below the following placement tests remain in the program.
| | Standard Score | | SAT-I, The College Board | | | Verbal | 440 | | Mathematics | 440 |
| Enhanced ACT, American Testing Program | Standard Score | | Reading | 18 | | English | 17 | | Mathematics | 19 |
Based on the scores above, students will receive college preparatory instruction in the areas of English, mathematics, and/or reading. The college preparatory courses, although required for identified students, do not carry college credit, and student performance is evaluated on an S/U basis. Students have three semesters to complete successfully any required college preparatory course.
The college preparatory courses at the university are:
| | Semester hours | | English-ENC 0001-”College Prep Writing”............................................................ | 3 | | Mathematics-MAT 0024-”Elementary Algebra”..................................................... | 3 | | Reading-REA 0001-”College Prep Reading”......................................................... | 3 |

Programs for Degree Acceleration
The university has established several avenues which permit a reduction in the normal amount of time required to complete the requirements for a baccalaureate degree. Each baccalaureate degree program is so designed that students are afforded an opportunity to complete a minimum of twenty-five percent of degree requirements through acceleration mechanisms. These programs include credit by examination, dual enrollment, early admission to the university, the year-around calendar, and any combinations of the above acceleration mechanism.
CREDIT BY EXAMINATION: A STUDENT MAY PARTICIPATE IN A VARIETY OF CREDIT BY EXAMINATION PROGRAMS IN ORDER TO EARN CREDIT TOWARD A DEGREE AWARDED BY THE UNIVERSITY.
Please see transfer credits under “Academic Program Policy” for details.
Health Careers Preparatory Program
Health Careers Preparatory Programs are designed to prepare students to meet the critical manpower needs in the health professions. They are interdisciplinary programs that are open to all students who have an interest in pursuing a career in the health related areas - such as medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and allied health. Detailed programs with specific discipline emphasis are outlined in the areas of chemistry and biology and in the division of agricultural sciences.
Pre-Medicine and Pre-Dentistry - These areas prepare students to pursue studies at any medical or dental school. Emphasis is placed not only upon the academic work, but considerable attention is devoted also to developing those inter-personal attributes which are necessary to become a good doctor or dentist. Every opportunity is taken to permit students to interact with medical and dental personnel. Students are encouraged to make surveys or carry out other special projects of interest.
Program in Medical Sciences (PIMS) - This inter-institutional program involving Florida A&M University, Florida State University, and the University of Florida College of Medicine serves as an alternate tract for stu-dents who seek to pursue a career in medicine at the university of Florida College of Medicine. Students in the program can complete the equivalent of the first year of medical school (the basic medical sciences) while completing their baccalaureate degree. From among those students participating in the program, up to fifty (50) a year may be guaranteed a position at the University of Florida College of Medicine upon successful completion of all PIMS required courses and a baccalaureate degree. A separate bulletin describing this program is available.
Pre-Veterinary Medicine - A student who is aspiring to pursue a career in veterinary medicine should plan to complete either Plan I or Plan II of the pre-veterinary program as outlined in the division of agricultural sciences.
The university Honors program provides a series of challenging courses and extra curricular activities for students who excel academically. The major goals of the program are (1) to encourage academic excellence and (2) to provide a more challenging academic experience for high achieving students.
Requirements for General Honors
1. SAT of 1200 or ACT of 27 or above for entering freshmen.
2. GPA of 3.0 for non-entering freshmen and sophomores.

The Office of International Education and Development (OlED), a component of the Division of Academic Affairs, supports and promotes the inter-nationalization of the University through the incorporation of international curriculum support and academic enhancement activities related to teaching, research, and public service. OlED seeks to enhance the University's relevance in an interdependent global village and to facilitate greater appreciation of cross-cultural relations and global issues. OlED strives to establish and maintain a University environment that encourages faculty, staff, and students to participate in a process that enhances and broadens the global role of the University. Services to students, faculty, and staff are provided through three units: (1) International Student and Scholar Services; (2) International Education and Exchange Programs; and (3) International Research and Development. (For updated information on the Office of International Education and Development, please see Appendix B).
International Student and Scholar Services
The International Student and Scholar Services (ISSS) Department provides resources to facilitate the adjustment process of international students in their new cultural environment. ISSS coordinates the Florida West Africa Institute (FLAWI) and monitors the programs of students supported by other institutions in Florida. ISSS administers and oversees all international F-1 and sponsored J-1 students enrolled at FAMU and provides assistance to faculty and staff who apply for the H-1 B visas. In addition to administrative support and referral services related to immigration and other needs, ISSS offers a range of programs and activities to enhance the overall educational experience of international students and scholars at FAMU.

OIED also sponsors the International Student Association. (For updated information on International Student and Scholar Services, please see Appendix B).
Education Abroad and Exchange Programs
The Education Abroad and Exchange Programs (EAEP) Department, a Title III funded activity, provides FAMU students a substantial array of resources to help them identify opportunities for study, travel and work abroad. The International Resource Center consists of print directories, guidebooks, pamphlets, brochures, a TV monitor and a computer to access electronic bookmarked websites of diverse education abroad opportunities. Education abroad consists of service learning, traditional year-long or semester study abroad internships, departmental-sponsored short-term study and outreach.
OIED administers a year-round semester program study abroad program in the capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo, for students seeking to experience a Latin American/Caribbean country. Classes are taught at the Pontlficia Universidad Cathlica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM). The prescribed academic program consists of Spanish Language studies, Dominican and Afro-Caribbean culture and literature, directed individual study in the student’s major field, and community service component.
The education abroad staff organizes several short-term academic excursions with a service learning component during the spring break or summer sessions for faculty, staff, and students. The enriching activities can be customized to the faculty member’s class syllabi or a department research project.
FAMU is a member of the College Consortium for International Studies (CCIS), a partnership of accredited two- and four-year U.S. and for-eign colleges and universities which share a commitment to developing a variety of international programs. FAMU coordinates the CCIS Summer Program in the Dominican Republic.
