Herzing University

Herzing University was one of the first post-secondary institutions founded to train students for the computer industry. The first Herzing University was founded as a computer programming school in 1965 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by Henry and Suzanne Herzing. Since then, Herzing University has grown from a modest classroom to a progressive leader in career education. The Herzing University system now includes campuses in eight U.S. states, located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Minnesota, Omaha, Ohio and Wisconsin. For distance learners, Herzing Online offers more than 30 different academic programs.

While expanding its campuses, Herzing also diversified its educational programs to include the fields of business management, electronics, health care, design and public safety. It also raised the level of credentials from not only diplomas, but also bachelors of science degrees and associate of science degrees at all its U.S. campuses. In addition, Herzing Online offers MBA degrees and Master of Science in Nursing degrees.
