As recently reported in the Tallahassee Democrat, Florida A&M University will establish a new Education Center in the heart of Crestview. This program, as well as, some of the recent improvements toTroy University and Northwest Florida State University Campuses in Crestview, will make Crestview a lot more attractive to families moving to the area. Again, stay tuned, Crestview has some more news to be release about the future growth of their area. This snowball is getting bigger and bigger every day and from what I know, it is not going to stop anytime soon.

Florida A&M University was approved Thursday by the Florida Board of Governors to establish a new educational center in Crestview, according to a university release. FAMU will offer a doctor of pharmacy program there beginning in fall 2012. Crestview sits about 150 miles west of Tallahassee. “We are pleased that the board voted favorably for this project that will not only extend our services to the panhandle, but provide an economic boost for the City of Crestview,” FAMU President James Ammons said in the release. “When FAMU was given the land-grant status, it was envisioned that FAMU would be engaged in extension and outreach that would transform lives and communities. This center will do just that.”The City of Crestview transferred the building that will house the facility – formerly known as the Alatex Building – to FAMU in 2010. Enrollment will be limited to five graduate students in their advanced pharmacy practice training in the first year, and FAMU plans to enroll 30 undergraduate students by 2013 and 60 graduate and 60 undergraduate students by 2016.
