Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University was founded in 1887, thus making it one of the three oldest institutions of higher education in the State of Florida. It is a comprehensive, co-educational, residential, multi-level land-grant university offering a broad range of instruction, research, and service programs at the undergraduate, professional, and graduate levels. As the University moves toward the twenty-first century, a major goal will be to enhance its statewide role as a vital and essential member of the State University System of Florida.
Our goal is to foster the growth and development of our students in such a way that they will be able to achieve their potential during college and in the years that follow
