PHILOSOPHY
In today's society, there is a genuine need for a University that offers its students quality academic and career education in an atmosphere of personalized attention. Too often, students in larger public institutions find themselves mere numbers in a computer. For some students, Keiser University offers career educational programs that prepare them to enter their chosen career field upon graduation. Other students may be community residents or business members who attend contract training or University-sponsored seminars.
At Keiser University, each student is considered an individual, and the University strives to be aware at all times of the needs of each member of its student body. The faculty of Keiser University believes that career education instruction is an art as well as a science. It is a dynamic process that develops both the skill and intellect of career-minded individuals in its community. Career education is an interactive process on which the future of society depends. Graduates become technicians, professionals and clinicians who are critical for future economic growth.
Keiser University's goal is to train career-minded individuals by offering an education that produces an employable, skilled, responsible and accountable person. Keiser University students are prepared to provide professional skills necessary to meet the projected needs of society. Inherent in the goals established for Keiser University is the belief that learning takes place in a variety of ways. For this reason, Keiser University curricula are flexible, individualized and incorporate previous knowledge and skills.
Keiser University affirms that all members of the academic community share responsibility for establishing, implementing and evaluating its educational programs. Further, Keiser University believes that members of business and industry must also participate in this process.
Finally, it is the philosophy of Keiser University that no person shall be denied admission to any program, be excluded from any training, be denied the benefits of training, or be subjected to discrimination in any hiring practice or activity of the University because of race, creed, color, handicap, national origin, sex, age, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status or religious belief.
