Keiser University was founded by Dr. Arthur Keiser and Evelyn Keiser in 1977, when they set out to create a University to better serve adult learners seeking a career-focused education.

Keiser University is a Level VI, regionally accredited university by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges to award certificates and degrees at the associate, baccalaureate, masters, specialist, and doctoral levels.

Over the past 45 years, Keiser University has become one of Florida’s largest private, not-for-profit universities.

The University's campuses provide an annual statewide economic impact of over $3 billion and directly and indirectly impact over 30,000 Florida jobs.

The University is internationally located beyond America's borders with regionally accredited off-campus sites in San Marcos, Nicaragua and Shanghai, China, and learning centers in Moldova, Taiwan, and Seoul.

In the last two years, nearly $76 million in scholarship funds were awarded to academic and needs-based students. The University is committed to educating and developing leaders to serve and compete globally.
