Class Format(s):
At Keiser University, you receive your education one class at a time.
As a student, you will attend one class at a time for four weeks and take your final exam before moving on to your next class. This schedule eliminates juggling several classes or multiple assignments and exams simultaneously. This focused approach on a single class, combined with small class size, ensures easy access to faculty and hands-on education that meets your needs.
Keiser University offers day, evening, or online classes to accommodate your schedule.
We understand that today's students have many responsibilities and obligations in their lives. At Keiser, we deliver the same quality education through different scheduling options to accommodate busy schedules. Whether you choose day, evening, or online classes, chances are, you will find a schedule that fits yours and allows you to fulfill one of the most important commitments you can make - a commitment to your education.
You will benefit from small class sizes.
The school was founded when the Keiser family recognized a need for hands-on career education in small classes. This student-friendly concept has remained at the foundation of the Keiser mission and continues to attract students who enjoy a more personal learning environment.
