General Information
An Historical Overview

The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University electronic catalog is updated annually and constitutes the University’s official document of record. The catalog includes general information about the University and information on degree requirements, academics programs, admission and campus life.

The provisions of the catalog do not constitute a contract, expressed or implied, between any applicant, student, or employee, member and the University. The University and its Board of Trustees reserve the right to withdraw courses at any time, to change fees, calendars, curricula, graduation procedures, and any other requirements affecting students. Changes will become effective policies as duly appropriate and will apply both to prospective students and to those already enrolled.

While every effort is made to assure accurate and up-to-date information, the University does not assume any responsibility for any misrepresentation made through error in the preparation of this or any other of its catalogs or through failure to give notice of changes in its requirements, policies, tuition and fees, course offerings, and other matters affecting students or applicants.

The FAMU General Catalog is produced by the Office of Publications in conjunction with the Division of Academic Affairs.
