Asbury College is pleased to announce that the Florida Department of Education's Commission for Independent Education has approved Asbury College as a Florida institution. This enables Asbury College to offer programs at the Orlando site with ACHIEVE being the first.

"I am familiar with the deep spiritual heritage of Asbury College and its longstanding tradition of quality education," said Marvin Royse, Florida Independent Education Commissioner. "You have something very valuable to offer our state. We are so pleased you are coming. Welcome to Florida."

"We want to express our gratitude to the Asbury College community and all of those who prayed for God to pave the way for this process," said Dr. Sandra Gray, Asbury College President. "The fact that Commissioner Royse made his statement about Asbury College affirms to us that the Lord has gone before us and paved the way. We look forward to and are eagerly anticipating our launching the program in Florida this fall."
