Florida's Largest Private Not-for-Profit University

Founded in 1977, Keiser University has grown from a single campus in Fort Lauderdale into Florida’s largest private not-for-profit university. With 19 Florida campuses, 4 international campuses, 12 international centers, the graduate school, and an award-winning online division, Keiser serves approximately 20,000 students who are pursuing careers in healthcare, business, technology, criminal justice, education, hospitality, and more.

Unlike for-profit institutions, Keiser’s not-for-profit status means that resources are reinvested directly into student success: smaller class sizes, more faculty support, and programs designed around workforce outcomes rather than shareholder returns.

“Keiser University is built on a simple promise: put students first — in every decision, every program, and every classroom.”

The university serves a wide range of learners:

Traditional students living on the Flagship Campus in West Palm Beach
Working adults attending evening and weekend classes
Online learners accessing programs from anywhere in the world
Military-affiliated students utilizing VA benefits
Spanish-speaking students enrolling through the Latin Division (En Línea en Español).

Keiser University’s founding principle — “students first” — is not a marketing tagline. It shapes how the university is structured, how
faculty are hired, and how programs are delivered. Classes are small
by design, with a 14:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Instructors are
working professionals in their fields, bringing real-world experience
into every course.
