About Keiser University-West Palm Beach

Keiser University-West Palm Beach: Experience comprehensive education at Florida's vibrant flagship campus.

Keiser University's West Palm Beach campus stands as its vibrant flagship residential hub, offering a distinctive blend of traditional collegiate life with comprehensive academic opportunities. It’s a key location for students seeking a robust on-campus experience, alongside a wide array of programs at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctorate levels, delivered in both traditional and online formats across the university's network. Known for its student-centric approach, Keiser prepares individuals for success in Florida's dynamic career landscape, guided by its motto: "Integritas, Veritas, Sapientia" (Purity, Truth, Wisdom).

The university's journey began in 1977 as The Keiser School, a career-focused institution in Fort Lauderdale. Evolving through various names – Keiser Institute of Technology, then Keiser College – it expanded its offerings from career training to associate and bachelor's degrees, finally becoming Keiser University in 2006. A significant milestone occurred in 2011 when the institution transitioned to a not-for-profit model, reinforcing its commitment to educational access and quality.

The West Palm Beach campus itself was established in 2015 on a 100-acre site, specifically designed to provide a traditional residential experience. Academically, Keiser University is institutionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, offering strong programs initially rooted in business and healthcare. Recent innovations include the launch of the College of Chiropractic Medicine in 2016, a pioneering program in South Florida. Students at the West Palm Beach campus benefit from a comprehensive educational environment that fosters both academic achievement and personal growth within a supportive community.
