Many states require no formal authorization or exemption for out-of-state schools to enroll state residents in online programs. For those states where UI&U has established academic centers, and for a small number of additional key states, Union has obtained formal authorization or exemptions as required by the individual state’s regulations.

The Florida Commission for Independent Education has authorized Union Institute & University to offer degree programs and to operate a center in Florida since 1983. Today, UI&U’s authorization by the Commission is based on the university’s accredited status: authorization must be renewed each year. The Commission’s authorization extends to all UI&U B.S. majors (except Child and Adolescent Development, offered only in California); the Master of Arts with a major in Clinical Mental Health Counseling; the Master of Science in Organizational Leadership, the Ed.D.; and the Ph.D. programs.
