- Florida Memorial University, a historically Black College related to Baptist Churches and traditions,
is one of the oldest academic centers in Florida. The private, coeducational, baccalaureate and graduate degrees granting
university has its origins in the Florida Baptist Institute, founded in 1879 in Live Oak (Florida), and in the Florida
Baptist Academy, founded in1892 in Jacksonville (Florida). These two institutions merged in 1941 to form the Florida Normal
and Industrial Memorial Institute in St. Augustine, Florida. The institution became a four-year college in 1945. Following
several name changes, the present name Florida Memorial College was adopted in 1963. The institution moved to its present
South Florida location in Miami, Florida in 1968.

and abilities of students and, at the same time, recognize and provide for intellectual diversity as individual interests and
goals are satisfied. Academic programs are supported by library services, academic advising, testing, developmental
education, support services, career planning and placement, counseling and student activities.
- Florida Memorial University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of
