When I first started with FMU about 2 1/2 years ago, the admissions counselor was straight forward with accredidation. I asked about the accredidation and she informed me that I may have troubles transferring credits to another school. I inquired about any Master's program after receiving a bachelors, and she stated there is a Master's program for this area. Unfortunately, this same degree wasn't offered at the community college but only UCF. Some of the courses would be campus courses and I didn't want to be working and traveling two hours a day for school. I opted to go with FMU and knew these credits won't be transferred. The program was put together by the head of the department consulting with major health care providers in the area. The curriculum addresses issues the area needs. Some of the books aren't the best but the instructors make up for it by utilizing their real world experience to help us learn. The school is nationally accredited which doesn't mean very much for transferring schools. I did my homework before enrolling and so should any other prospective student wether they are going to a regionally accredited school or not!!! Admission counselors are sales people no matter what school you go to and are trying to increase the student population.
