Accreditation & Programs

The University of North Florida (UNF) is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award baccalaureate, masters, and doctorate degrees. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call 404-679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of the University of North Florida. Individual contact to the Commission on Colleges about the University of North Florida accreditation status should occur only if there is evidence that appears to support significant noncompliance with a requirement or standard.. Wherever national disciplinary accreditation is available, UNF ensures its programs acquire that status when permitted to ensure our programs are consistent with national standards regarding curriculum and content quality.

The Graduate School offers over 44 graduate degrees and certificates with a wide range of concentrations in arts and sciences, business, computing and engineering, education, and health.

Our priority is you and your success during your graduate endeavors, and that means ensuring you get the attention and experience you need to be accomplished in your field.

Jacksonville and Local Areas  

Jacksonville sets the stage for our students to flourish in one of the nation's most renowned metropolitan cities in Northeast Florida. Students can experience the richness of Jacksonville's culture through museums, concerts, vast miles of beaches and waterways, and the largest urban park system in the United States. Want to take a weekend rest from the city life? Visit the quaint, Spanish town of St. Augustine just 35 minutes to the south or enjoy the relaxed seaport of Amelia Island 40 minutes to the north.
