School Counselors

We fully understand the awesome task that you face as you guide your students through high school and help them plan for the future. There is no doubt that you are constantly bombarded with requests for information about the thousands of higher educational institutions nationwide.

With that in mind, we have designed our website to help familiarize you with our requirements and academic programs. We’ve also provided helpful links that we hope will help make the college selection process at FMU extremely user-friendly. As always, if we can be of service to you or your students please contact us. We’re here for you!
