Accreditation
Tell me about accreditation.
Hodges University is regionally accredited with the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award Associate, Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. This is the highest accreditation possible for colleges and universities.
Why is accreditation important?
Accreditation is a voluntary exercise and without it, colleges and universities cannot provide federal or state financial aid. There are six regional accrediting agencies in the United States and institutions accredited by these regional associations will usually accept credits in transfer from other institutions similarly accredited. In general, credits earned from nationally accredited schools will not be transferable to regionally accredited institutions.
Admissions
What is FRAG and how can I apply for it?
The FRAG is the Florida Resident Access Grant and it is available to qualified students who choose to attend a private, regionally accredited college in the State of Florida. To qualify you must be a resident of Florida (for at least one year), not already have a bachelor’s degree and be registered for at least 12 credit hours. The FRAG is available in the Fall and Winter semesters and the amount of the grant varies according to what is approved in the Florida State Budget. This grant is not based on income. Ask your Admissions Coordinator for more information!

Tell me about your faculty.
The faculty members at Hodges University have the academic degrees required to teach the courses in their discipline. But above and beyond that, our faculty possess the real world knowledge required to teach our students how ‘it is done’ in the real world! Our professors have been in the business world and understand how to combine theory and the ‘real world’ in the educational process.
