Letter from the Chancellor
Dear Friends, Colleagues and Esteemed Guests,
On behalf of the Keiser family, the Keiser University Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, and students, it is my honor to welcome you as we approach Keiser University’s 50th year of service to Florida.
What began in 1977 as a small Fort Lauderdale classroom with one student has grown into one of Florida’s most impactful institutions of higher learning — serving approximately 20,000 students across 18 Florida campuses, online, and internationally. Today, nearly 3,800 dedicated faculty and staff deliver associate, bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in many of the most essential and rapidly growing fields.
From the beginning, our mission has been clear: students come first. For five decades, we have remained focused on preparing career-ready graduates while directly supporting Florida’s most critical workforce needs — particularly in healthcare, nursing, cybersecurity, information technology, business, and public safety. Through small class sizes, hands-on training, and flexible scheduling, Keiser University continues to open doors of opportunity for students of all backgrounds while fueling the talent pipeline that powers Florida’s economy.
Equally central to our mission is service. Keiser University students, faculty, and staff are deeply engaged in assisting their communities through service and support of local nonprofits, civic initiatives, and public service programs. Our graduates often tell us this emphasis on purpose-driven leadership not only equipped them for meaningful careers, but also enriched their families and communities.
I warmly invite you to visit one or more of our campuses. You will experience firsthand the caring, student-centered environment and unwavering commitment to excellence that have defined Keiser University for 50 years — and will continue to guide our future.
Sincerely,
Dr. Arthur Keiser Chancellor, Keiser University
