​

Florida Hebrew University (FHU), operating under its current jurisdiction and exempt status, adheres to the following consumer practices to ensure transparency, fairness, and integrity in all student interactions, including direct or indirect solicitation of enrollment:

​

1. Purpose, Programs, and Institutional Information

 

PURPOSE
FHU is committed to offering a well-rounded, Torah-based education that integrates religious values with professional and academic training. FHU’s mission is to empower Torah-observant students to pursue meaningful careers while maintaining their religious commitments. The university emphasizes self-reliance, Torah-based research, and the development of a refined, Torah-based culture.

​

PROGRAMS
FHU offers a variety of degree and certificate programs, including undergraduate and graduate studies in fields such as Torah and Integrative Studies, Tzniut Fashion, Jewish and Hebrew Studies, Jewish Music, Nutrition Education, Education, Educational Administration, Sacred Linguistics, Counseling/Neshamah Daat, Torah-Based Agriculture and Food Production, Business Administration, Communications, Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Mitzvah Coaching, and Sacred Linguistics. Each program integrates Torah concepts, ensuring alignment with religious teachings.

 

INSTITUTIONAL INFORMATION
FHU operates as a non-profit foundation under the laws of Florida, committed to maintaining transparency and ethical standards. The university’s status, educational programs, descriptions of its virtual learning environment, fee structure, and policies are fully disclosed in the FHU catalog and on the official website.

 

KEY DISCLOSURES

• Licensure Status: Details about the university’s licensure status and compliance with educational standards can be found at www.floridahebrewuniversity.org/religious-university-status.

• Fee Schedule, Financial Assistance, Tuition, and Refund Policies: Information about tuition, fees, and refund policies is available at www.floridahebrewuniversity.org/tuition-and-financial-aid.

2. Assessment of Student Readiness

​

FHU uses reliable methods to assess the ability of prospective students to successfully complete their chosen course of study before accepting them into a program.

 

3. Employment Placement Services

​

• Career Support: FHU offers resources such as resume-building workshops, interview preparation, and job search guidance within fields aligned with Torah values.

• No Guarantees: While FHU assists in career development, it does not promise guaranteed job placements, market availability, or specific salary outcomes, focusing instead on equipping students with skills and knowledge for meaningful employment.

 

4. Program Licensure Requirements

 

FHU does not offer programs that lead to state licensure. The Counseling program is categorized as a religious program and does not equate to a traditional secular degree in psychology, thus not requiring licensure. Educational programs are designed for private Jewish schools and private educational practices, where licensing is not required.

 

5. Accurate Advertising

 

FHU is committed to transparency in all advertisements, ensuring promotional materials accurately reflect the university's offerings:

• Clear Program Descriptions: All program descriptions accurately represent course content, objectives, and outcomes.

• Accurate Accreditation Statements: FHU does not imply any unearned accreditation status.

• Truthful Career Outcomes: FHU avoids exaggerated claims regarding job placements or earnings.

• No False Promises of Licensure: FHU clearly differentiates religious and private school-focused programs from licensure-requiring degrees.

• Transparent Financial Information: Tuition, fees, and scholarships are presented accurately with no hidden costs.

• Honest Depiction of Facilities and Online Learning: FHU’s facilities, resources, and online learning modules are presented realistically, ensuring prospective students understand what to expect.

• Accurate Testimonial Use: All testimonials are authentic and used with permission.

• Prompt Correction of Errors: FHU commits to correcting any misleading information promptly.

 

6. Online Safety and Security

 

FHU ensures a secure online learning environment through advanced cybersecurity measures. Procedures for reporting incidents of online harassment or data breaches are detailed in the “Online Safety and Security” section of the student handbook and available at www.floridahebrewuniversity.org/onlinesafety.

 

7. Handling Student Complaints and Disciplinary Actions

8. Additional Information Access

 

Prospective students can obtain further information by contacting relevant accrediting bodies or oversight commissions, where applicable.

 

9. Compliance Responsibility

 

FHU is responsible for demonstrating compliance with fair consumer practices in applications for licensure or exemption status and participates in any required investigations to ensure compliance.
