Like the 12 public universities that are part of the State University System in Florida, all ICUF schools are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
“EASE is about giving us choice.”
A part of the Independent Universities and Colleges of Florida organization rally in Tallahassee, STU students joined hundreds
of students from other private institutions across the state to demonstrate to the legislature the importance of EASE to them as students.
