The primary mission of any worthy institution of higher education is to produce graduates who understand that education is a lifelong endeavor.  At Florida Memorial College, our goal is to foster the growth and development of our students so that they can achieve their greatest potential during college and in the following years. 

The College's motto: “Leadership, Character, and Service,” embodies the spirit and purpose that is instilled in each student who attends this institution.  We encourage graduates to succeed, become responsible and contributing citizens and utilize the faith we seek to instill in them while they attend Florida Memorial College.

As the birthplace of “Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing,” Florida Memorial College has a rich historical heritage and understanding of the importance of education.  The entire Florida Memorial College family-students, alumni, faculty, staff and community partners- are intent on producing tomorrow's leaders.  Florida Memorial College is

dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge and truth, the free exchange of ideas, and the transmission and preservation of African-American history and heritage.

Join us and become part of a winning team- a team that makes your success our goal.
