About Keiser University-Jacksonville

Career-focused education shaping futures in Florida and beyond since 1977.

Keiser University-Jacksonville is a vibrant branch of Keiser University, a private institution dedicated to providing career-focused education. Established in 1977 by Arthur and Evelyn Keiser as a career college, the university has evolved significantly, always aiming to prepare students for the demands of Florida's growing business and healthcare sectors. Today, it offers a comprehensive range of educational programs from undergraduate to doctorate levels, available in both traditional and online formats, ensuring flexibility and accessibility for diverse learners.

The university's academic strength is underscored by its institutional accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), affirming its commitment to high educational standards. With a student body exceeding 21,000 across its various locations, Keiser University is a substantial educational provider, known for its practical, hands-on approach to learning. Its dedication to student success is encapsulated in its motto, "Integritas, Veritas, Sapientia" – Purity, Truth, Wisdom.

A significant milestone in Keiser University's history occurred in 2011 when it transitioned from a for-profit institution to a not-for-profit model, reinforcing its mission to serve the public good. This commitment was further demonstrated with the expansion of a flagship residential campus in West Palm Beach in 2015, providing a traditional collegiate experience. The university continues to innovate, notably launching its College of Chiropractic Medicine in 2016, a first-of-its-kind program in South Florida, highlighting its responsive approach to emerging professional needs.
