Keiser University was founded in 1977 by the Keiser Family under the name Keiser School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, receiving accreditation in 1980. In 1982, Keiser School was renamed Keiser Institute of Technology when computer and paralegal programs were added. The name was changed to Keiser College in 1986 when it began to offer associate degrees. Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, the college received additional accreditations and expanded to open additional campuses all over Florida. After the expansion and addition of programs – including the opening of the Keiser Graduate School – Keiser College became Keiser University in 2006. In 2008, Keiser celebrated its first graduate from the Spanish Language Latin Division, which was established in 2005 and believed to be the country’s first. Currently, Keiser University provides education to approximately 12,000 students through its 13 campuses and online division with over 40 degree programs.
