Welcome to MalayalamUniversity, a premier non-profit religious institution based in Florida, USA. Established under the religious exemption guidelines of the Florida Commission for Independent Education, our university serves as a global bridge between the ancient traditions of Kerala, India, and the vibrant Malayali diaspora in the United States and beyond.
The primary aim of MalayalamUniversity is to help expatriates, especially Malayalis, and their future generations born and raised abroad, retain their cultural heritage, arts, and pride in Kerala and India. This includes fostering awareness and appreciation for their roots.
The university seeks to gain recognition for the Malayalam language in foreign schools and colleges, ensuring it is offered as a credited subject in academic curriculum.
The institution aims to grow as a pillar of support for worldwide Malayalees, providing resources and opportunities to connect with their cultural identity.
The university plans to create a systematic academic framework for Kerala's traditional art forms, ensuring they are studied and preserved in an organized manner.

The university will introduce theory classes and practical examinations for Indian classical dance forms like Bharatanatyam. These exams will be conducted at recognized dance schools, evaluated by university-approved teachers, and certificates will be issued accordingly.
Additionally, the university's efforts to provide skill development courses for new migrants highlight its commitment to supporting the Malayali community in adapting to new environments while staying connected to their cultural identity. This holistic approach makes MalayalamUniversity a vital institution for the global Malayali diaspora.
