Rock-T switches things up for this morning’s HBCU Know. Instead of highlighting an HBCU graduate, he’s honoring an entire institution…Florida Memorial University!

This private coeducational university, located in Miami Gardens, Florida, has been educating black scholars since its establishment in 1879. It reigns as the only historically black university in South Florida, and gives admitted students a wide range of educational options with over 40 undergraduate degree programs, and four graduate degree programs to choose from.
One department that FMU is well known for is its Department of Aviation and Safety. The program is top ranking in the country overall, and is one of only four universities granted Cessna Pilot Center status.
