Keiser University is a private university with its main campus in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States.[7] Its flagship residential campus is in West Palm Beach, Florida,[8] and additional campuses are located in other parts of Florida and internationally.[9] Keiser provides educational programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate levels in both traditional and online delivery formats. The school is institutionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

History

In 1977, Arthur Keiser and his mother, Evelyn, created a career college called the Keiser School in Fort Lauderdale to prepare students for jobs in Florida's growing business and healthcare communities.[10] In 1982, with the addition of paralegal and computer programs, the school changed its name to the Keiser Institute of Technology. In 1986, the school began to award associate degrees and became Keiser College. In 2001, Keiser created its first bachelor's degree programs. Five years later, in 2006, the school made its final name change and became Keiser University.[11]

In 2010, the Florida Attorney General began to investigate Keiser University and several other for-profit schools based in the state, but by 2012 the investigation was closed and Keiser entered into an "assurance of voluntary compliance".[12] In 2011, the university switched from a for-profit to a not-for-profit model, when Arthur Keiser sold the institution for an undisclosed sum to Everglades College Inc., a non-profit entity founded by Keiser that also operates Everglades University.[2][13]

In 2015, Keiser University added a 100-acre flagship residential campus in West Palm Beach, on the site of what was formerly Northwood University's Florida campus. The goal of this expansion was to help in providing students with a residential, traditional, educational experience in West Palm Beach, Florida.[14] In 2016, the university launched the new college of Chiropractic Medicine, with Michael Wiles serving as the Dean. This is the first program of its kind started in South Florida.[15][16]

In 2017, CEO and President Arthur Keiser became chair of the U.S. Department of Education's National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI).[17] Keiser was first appointed by then Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings and reappointed twice by Republicans.[18]

Licensure and accreditation

Keiser University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award certificates and degrees at the associate, baccalaureate, master's and doctoral levels. Keiser University is licensed by the Commission for Independent Education in Florida.[19]
