AVE MARIA UNIVERSITY ACCREDITATION
WITH THE SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS

Ave Maria University (AMU) is an accredited member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) and meets the requirements and standards for accreditation of SACS. Ave Maria University Latin American Campus (AMU-LAC), located in San Marcos, Nicaragua is also accredited by SACS since it is a branch campus of Ave Maria University.

SACS membership directly benefits AMU students, including those planning on entering post-graduate programs. SACS is one of six regional accrediting associations that accredit institutions of higher education in the United States. Membership impacts university funding and makes AMU eligible to receive foundation grants and increased federal and state resources, which allow the institution to improve and expand programs for students.

As a SACS university member, AMU will strive for continuous improvement in order to maintain accreditation. Members are reevaluated on a regular basis to ensure accreditation criteria continue to be met.
