Accredited Degree Programs

Accredited Degree Programs
The IFMA Foundation has developed standards to recognize quality facility management first-professional degree programs at colleges and universities. The accredited program initiative was designed to recognize and encourage the strengthening of current, valid facility management education degrees and to assist in the development of new facility management degree programs. The benefits of program recognition include:

• Automatic acceptance as a program provider whose courses and seminars are approved for certification maintenance points for Certified Facility Managers.
• Accredited program graduates are eligible to sit for the CFM exam one year sooner than graduates of non-Accredited programs.
• Inclusion on a list describing accredited programs that is sent to individuals and employers who call IFMA or the IFMA Foundation about facility management degree programs.
• Recognition at IFMA's Annual Meeting, in IFMA publications and on Foundation web site.
