New Higher Education Accreditor Approves Florida Polytechnic University

The Commission for Public Higher Education (CPHE), a new college accreditor established in 2025, has granted its first accreditation to Florida Polytechnic University. This marks a significant step for CPHE, which aims to offer an alternative accreditation approach for public higher education. However, CPHE still requires federal recognition for its accredited institutions to qualify for federal student aid.
