Excellent comments about FMU's accreditation (or lack thereof). As an ex-employee (advisor) of a major state university nearby, I can tell you that we received a list of acceptable classes from the Board of Trustees, from FMU and similar private colleges. Although we would not accept degrees and most classes, since we were able to accept some select classes.
In mid, I was informed that FMU was in the midst of a 5-year program to become regionally accredited. I wonder what happened to those efforts? In any case, I've helped many FMU (formerly Tampa College) students with their homework/term papers and I can tell you from first-hand experience that the quality of the textbooks and curriculum was 9th grade level at best; not very challenging. (very rudimentary). Also, has anybody commented on how insanely expensive classes are at FMU! Just one semester at FMU equals nearly 2 years of study at any nearby community college, for in-state residents.
