Brian Keintz, PhD

I am originally from South Dakota where I grew up on a farm. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Education from South Dakota State University but decided that I wanted to pursue higher education administration and teaching. I completed my master’s degree in education from Colorado State University, upon leaving South Dakota. My degree specialization was in College Student Personnel Administration. I have worked for 22 years at five different institutions as a student affairs administrator; and remained active as a teacher and researcher. I obtained a Ph.D. in Adult Education from the University of Wyoming in 2004, while working full-time. My research interests continue to be adult learner motivation, participation, and development; assessment and evaluation; and reflective or critical thinking in learning. I have been a professor and administrator at Keiser University for 14 years.
