The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real-world learning and hands-on instruction. The concepts and lessons gave me a solid understanding of how to create good design. Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.

I loved that Keiser University focused on one class per month. I feel I gained a lot from this because there were no distractions from other subjects in the same period of time. I found the information for each subject was better retained this way. In addition, my professors were always available for one-on-one help which is nearly unheard of in a large university or state college.

I found that Keiser University's Nuclear Medicine program of advanced studies and small class size was a perfect fit. I never came across a faculty member who wasn't truly interested in my progress as well as available if I needed assistance. I had the opportunity to serve as the President of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society while balancing my program of studies. The clinical experience and exposure in the Nuclear program is outstanding, and I was actually made a job offer six months prior to graduation.

Without a degree, I knew that I had reached my limit in my office for promotions. Wanting more out of my career, I began to seek out a school which could accommodate my busy schedule. At Keiser University, the faculty and staff really care about you and truly have a desire to help you succeed. After achieving my Associate degree, I am currently enrolled in the Bachelor degree program for Legal Studies and couldn't be more excited about my future!

“I cannot thank Keiser University enough for the experience and the learning opportunities I have had here. I never thought that at 20 years old, I would be halfway through my bachelor’s degree and working full-time as a medical assistant.”
-Sarah S.,
Keiser University Medical Assisting graduate
When I enrolled in Keiser University's AS in Biotechnology program, that decision would change my life forever. The small class sizes and one at a time courses were appealing to me as a single mother, but my professor’s accessibility and commitment to myself and my peers was the proverbial icing on the cake. The solid foundation that was built at Keiser University allowed me to hit the ground running after graduation, and the doors that have opened for me since graduating are truly astonishing. I have had the opportunity to work with scientists from around the world, and the knowledge and confidence that being a student at Keiser University gave me has been priceless. Thank you, Keiser University.

I totally loved this journey! I did my externship at a pediatric office, as this was the area I wanted to be in. In fact, it was the office that I went to as a child, my kids went there, and now my grandson goes there. I had a long history with that group, so naturally I wanted to be there. Two months after my externship was finished, I got hired there as a pediatric medical assistant!
LeeAnn S.

I really enjoyed the small class sizes and having an advisor at the campus who was able to guide me when I needed advice. I could take the program online, which helped tremendously as I was staying home with my children. Being able to do my schoolwork on my own timetable helped me to be accessible for my children and my husband.

I have received an Associate of Science degree in Fire Science online at Keiser University. Every professor in every class showed that they truly cared about their students and made sure that you understood what you were learning and had fun doing it. I received an internship with a county wide emergency management agency developing disaster preparedness plans and performing site visits, with the possibility of being brought onto their staff as a county EMA employee. Thank you so much Keiser University - at 24 years old my life is off to a great start!

The PA professors care very much about the progress and success of the students and have been great advisors every step of the way through the program.
Annelise M.

I also had my associate degree in Radiology from Keiser University. The reason why I chose Keiser University for my bachelor’s degree is the scheduling system. I like the idea of having one class at a time every month. It also suits mothers like me who have to pick up their kids after school. I am proud to be a student of Keiser University.

Earlier this session, I was sent to Adak, AK, to catch my new Coast Guard unit which was on its way home from spending several weeks in the Japan area. Near the end of my second week on board and close to the end of our patrol – just entering the warmer Hawaiian-like weather – we were diverted to return back north to Alaska and check on a car carrier that turned on its side. We spent the next week circling the carrier until more assistance arrived. We finally returned back to Hawaii last Thursday.
While in the middle of the ocean and without a book, my professor worked with me and provided printable items to ensure I did not fall too far behind.
I'd like to report that I am near completion of the class and am going strong with an A! It is wonderful to know that staff members at Keiser are so caring and understanding of the students even when strange things happen in their work environment – like mine.

Carlos F.
BA in Accounting graduate
I am a proud graduate of Keiser University’s Bachelor of Arts in Legal Studies program. I love the fact that in Keiser’s Legal Studies program, we not only learned the theory behind our laws, but also the practical application of them. We were taught to compose our legal documents "from the ground up", meaning we didn’t use previously formatted documents where there was just a template you plug information into. We actually constructed our legal documents according the court’s specifications; this enabled us to understand the "how’s" and "why’s" of legal document composition, as well as where to find these specifications if we need them in the future.
Many of our classes were conducted in a simulated legal office setting where we were given a set of facts and circumstances and asked to complete documents such as complaints, answers, interrogatories, requests to produce, motions for summary judgment, and appellate briefs by a particular deadline. We created other documents such as contracts, wills, trusts, and income tax returns. We also participated in mock trials where each of us played all parts of the prosecution, defense, and witnesses. The Legal Studies program at Keiser University provided us with an extremely thorough and relevant understanding of our legal system and the skills necessary to succeed in our profession.

My decision to attend Keiser University has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. The one-class a- month pace helped incredibly with my self-discipline and for the first time, I didn’t get bored with school. The instructors and staff were a great help, always ready for a pep talk or to explain something in further detail.

While researching the career options that would be obtainable to me if I were to earn a culinary degree, I fell in love with the idea of being a food stylist. I thought this was the perfect choice for me as a foodie with a love for photography. Once I began the Keiser University culinary program, I got to know all of the chef instructors and learned about how they got to be where they are today in their careers. After inquiring about each of their career paths and seeing what a vast array of experiences each of them had in the foodservice industry, I realized there were so many other career options available to a culinary graduate that I had never even imagined. During my time in my culinary classes I fell in love with the fine dining aspect of the industry. For this reason, I chose to do my externship at The Broadmoor Hotel & Resort in Colorado Springs. During my externship at The Broadmoor, I was able to expand on the skills I learned throughout my time at The Keiser University Center for Culinary Arts. I was given the opportunity to work the Garde Manger station, which was a completely new experience to me. I also worked on the hot line in a large commercial kitchen for the first time in my life. I was so thankful for everything I had learned during my time at Keiser. My experience in my classes such as Classical French Cuisine greatly prepared me for my experience at The Broadmoor and enabled me to hone my skills through this real-world experience. By the time I finished my externship I had fallen so in love with the foodservice industry that I decided to continue my education with Keiser University. As soon as I returned to Sarasota, I immediately enrolled in their Baking & Pastry program and started classes shortly after. I am currently halfway through the program and I love every minute of it. My chefs are like family to me and show genuine interest in my success. This career change has been the best decision I have ever made and I am so happy that Keiser supported me in this transformation.

After being denied for several promotions at my current employer, I decided that I needed to further my education. Since graduating from Keiser with my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, I have been promoted and I am able to obtain positions that weren’t available to me before.

My experience in the Public Safety Administration program at Keiser University provided me countless opportunities to engage professors and instructors who are subject matter experts in their particular fields. The program provided me with the necessary education to continue advancement of my career. With the understanding that I am an adult student devoted to completing such a program, it delivered more than I could have anticipated. Students with aspirations of furthering their current careers or expanding opportunities will be provided an education to assist in these goals.
The learning environment, cooperation and understanding from the faculty and school's administration with a priority focus on each individual student is unrivalled by my 14 years experience in Public Safety. At times, I learned as much from my fellow student(s) as I did the instructors and professors; as each are working in their respective fields and provided expert insight for discussion, completion of projects and classwork. Since completing the program, I have been able to successfully apply for and be promoted, as well as qualify for positions outside of my current career path, which I until that time was not.
To conclude, as a student who has completed both a Bachelor of Science in Public Safety Administration and an Associate of Science in Fire Science at Keiser University while working full-time, I believe the benefits of quality education are immeasurable. The dynamic environment of Public Safety and performance levels required to be successful as a Leader in this career are certainly reinforced by Keiser University's Public Safety Administration program.

When I received my appointment as chief of our fire department, I was given two years to complete my degree in Fire Science. I looked around for schools that offered the Fire Science program online and I found Keiser University. The staff at Keiser University was so helpful; I even had an instructor call me personally by phone when I was struggling in one of my classes to offer extra help. To me, that showed absolute dedication to higher learning and to the students they serve. I am so excited about my higher education journey. My next goal at Keiser University is to complete my Bachelor of Science degree in Public Safety. I can truly say that my experience at Keiser University is one that I will never ever forget.

I had dabbled in creative arts beforehand, but I was hoping to increase my skill set and my marketability. The year and a half I spent in the Graphic Arts and Design program better prepared me for attaining a job in the field. The classes began with the basics and proceeded to cover an extensive range of computer programs. As a hands-on learner, the project-centered teaching was perfect for me. And, not only did I learn how to use the programs, but faculty helped to prepare me for the workforce by teaching necessary job skills, such as how to create a portfolio and how to make effective presentations.;
A year after graduating with an associate degree, I managed to get a job in the publishing industry. My work allows me to use my graphic design skills in various ways, including book cover design and website development. Recently, I was even able to use some of the video-editing skills I had learned while at Keiser University. I attribute a large portion of my success in this career field to the education I received from Keiser.

The Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation. Keiser takes the basics that are taught at the associate level and uses them to strengthen your skills and knowledge. The classes are structured so that you get a lot of hands-on projects to ensure that you learn everything there is to know about business. While currently employed with the Gadsden County Board of County Commissioners, after graduation I was promoted to Management Assistant in the Office of Management and Budget where I manage and monitor department budgets. Keiser, I am eternally grateful!

Your constant support truly made my time with Keiser University not only a pleasure academically, but also a time to gain much field experience. Through my connection with Keiser…, I was able to obtain employment in a molecular laboratory where I enhanced my knowledge of pathological studies and diagnoses. I sharpened my laboratory technique and made lasting connections in the field. I want to thank you for always pushing me to reach new heights and never letting me stand on the sideline. I look forward to an incredibly successful career in the field of healthcare due to the hard work and dedication of the Keiser biomedical staff.”

After 10 years as a homemaker, I decided to re-enter the workforce as a licensed massage therapist. I chose Keiser University in 2004, because it offered the flexibility I desired. The ideal location, one class per month and a very high pass rate on the national exam for massage therapists were attractive attributes. I received my AS in Massage Therapy in 2005 and currently I am nationally certified in therapeutic massage and bodywork and certified in Hawaiian Lomi Lomi. As a licensed massage therapist employed at the prestigious Elizabeth Arden - Red Door Lifestyle Spa, I find my work to be both stimulating and rewarding. Perseverance is the key, and Keiser University made it all possible.

My journey with Keiser University all began as a dream to return to school and have a career, rather than a "job". As I began the core classes for Occupational Therapy Assistant, I realized that I was learning from faculty with years of knowledge that were experts in their field. I walked away from this experience wiser and with confidence that I never knew I could achieve. I currently have two jobs as a certified occupational therapy assistant with both facilities that I interned at. I am still learning every day how to improve my skills and will probably continue to do so for the rest of my career. I would have never found this type of success without Keiser University and the amazing faculty in the OTA program. I am forever grateful to them for encouraging me every day to continue raising the bar. They saw in me something that I couldn’t see … success!

I graduated with my A.S. in Information Technology, my B.S. in Information Technology Management, and in a couple of weeks my MBA minoring in Information Security Management.
Keiser University has become like family to me. I ended up having a daughter who was in and out of the hospital throughout my entire B.S. program, and there were so many times I just wanted to give up, but none of my professors would allow me to do that. They inspired, encouraged and pushed me to go forward ... and I did. I have been able to achieve the career that I have dreamed of, and I’m able to provide for my daughter and give her the life that she deserves.

I have received an Associate of Science degree in Fire Science and a Bachelor of Science degree in Public Safety, both completely online at Keiser University. Every professor in every class showed that they truly cared about their students and made sure that you understood what you were learning and had fun doing it. I received an internship with a county wide emergency management agency developing disaster preparedness plans and performing site visits, with the possibility of being brought onto their staff as a county EMA employee. Thank you so much Keiser University - at 24 years old my life is off to a great start!

The Design program at Keiser University was filled with real-world learning and hands-on instruction. The concepts and lessons gave me a solid understanding of how to create good design. Based on the portfolio I created while a student at Keiser University, I landed a job in Graphic Design for a major online retailer immediately after graduation.

Keiser University gave me a great education specializing in Radiologic Technology. The teachers were extremely knowledgeable and were always willing to take extra time to explain if [I ever] had trouble with a subject…The way the clinical rotations are set up are great because it really gave me the opportunity to learn what it means to be an X-ray tech before I actually became one.

The decision to get my Bachelor of Arts in accounting degree from Keiser University was one of the best decisions I have made. The freedom of online learning, number of course participants and the course pace were the major factors involved in my decision to choose Keiser University over other schools. The interaction between students through the discussion and question boards was encouraging and enjoyable. The instructors were knowledgeable and engaging while also being available almost anytime through email, course forums and boards, and sometimes even phone. If you are looking for a well-rounded accounting education experience with the flexibility of online learning, I would highly recommend pursuing one of the many diverse programs available at Keiser University.

“Keiser University was, hands down, the perfect place for me to pursue my degree in Occupational Therapy. The smaller class sizes, coupled with the attentiveness and accessibility of the instructors, gave me the most thorough and qualified education possible. Outside of the classroom, the internships offered through Keiser afforded me the opportunity to build rapport within the therapy community and effectively network, which was no doubt the reason I was able to become immediately employed post-graduation despite the challenging job market. Ultimately, while being educated at Keiser, I absolutely fell in love with being a therapist, which is something that will fuel my career to the very end, and I am forever grateful.”

Choosing Keiser was instrumental because they offered small class sizes and the faculty provided one-on-one time with all of the students.

I was also impressed at the structure, organization and curriculum for the program at Keiser.
Osmara C.

Before attending [Keiser] I was quite hesitant as to which university I wanted to enroll in. What caught my attention with Keiser was the way they handled their classes. I have not once been in a class with over 25 students, which gives me personalized attention. . . . Keiser prepares you to be in a 'high power' position in the workforce and not just a regular employee. . . . The staff and faculty are very helpful and answer any questions and help resolve any concerns I may have. Because of Keiser, I have been able to implement all of the business course knowledge that Keiser has taught me (since it's real-world material). With Keiser’s help, I was able to climb the career ladder at the business I am in now (currently I’m VP). The most important thing I have learned from Keiser is, the only thing keeping you from your endeavors is yourself. Give yourself no excuses.

“Once I started my core classes I soon realized that this program has so much more to offer. The small class sizes made it feel as though we were a family.

“I totally loved this journey! I did my externship at a pediatric office, as this was the area I wanted to be in. In fact, it was the office that I went to as a child, my kids went there, and now my grandson goes there. I had a long history with that group, so naturally I wanted to be there. Two months after my externship was finished, I got hired there as a pediatric medical assistant!”
-LeeAnn S.,

I loved that Keiser University focused on one class per month. I feel I gained a lot from this because there were no distractions from other subjects in the same period of time. I found the information for each subject was better retained this way. In addition, my professors were always available for one-on-one help which is nearly unheard of in a large university or state college.

“The Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration at Keiser has to be one of the best in the nation.

While currently employed with the Gadsden County Board of County Commissioners, after graduation I was promoted to Management Assistant in the Office of Management and Budget where I manage and monitor department budgets. Keiser, I am eternally grateful!”

“My journey with Keiser University all began as a dream to return to school and have a career, rather than a "job". As I began the core classes for Occupational Therapy Assistant, I realized that I was learning from faculty with years of knowledge that were experts in their field. I walked away from this experience wiser and with confidence that I never knew I could achieve. I currently have two jobs as a certified occupational therapy assistant with both facilities that I interned at. I am still learning every day how to improve my skills and will probably continue to do so for the rest of my career. I would have never found this type of success without Keiser University and the amazing faculty in the OTA program. I am forever grateful to them for encouraging me every day to continue raising the bar. They saw in me something that I couldn’t see … success!”

My experience in the Public Safety Administration program at Keiser University provided me countless opportunities to engage professors and instructors who are subject matter experts in their particular fields. The program provided me with the necessary education to continue advancement of my career. With the understanding that I am an adult student devoted to completing such a program, it delivered more than I could have anticipated. Students with aspirations of furthering their current careers or expanding opportunities will be provided an education to assist in these goals.
The learning environment, cooperation and understanding from the faculty and school's administration with a priority focus on each individual student is unrivalled by my 14 years' experience in Public Safety. At times, I learned as much from my fellow student(s) as I did the instructors and professors; as each are working in their respective fields and provided expert insight for discussion, completion of projects and classwork. Since completing the program, I have been able to successfully apply for and be promoted, as well as qualify for positions outside of my current career path, which I until that time was not.
To conclude, as a student who has completed both a Bachelor of Science in Public Safety Administration and an Associate of Science in Fire Science at Keiser University while working full-time, I believe the benefits of quality education are immeasurable. The dynamic environment of Public Safety and performance levels required to be successful as a Leader in this career are certainly reinforced by Keiser University's Public Safety Administration program.

As an Army Vocational Rehab, student I was faced with the prospect of a two-year wait to get into a state-run nursing program in spite of almost perfect grades in all of my prerequisite classes. After learning about Keiser University's fully accredited ADN-RN program, I applied and was immediately accepted. The faculty and students made me feel very welcome as a veteran. The VA worked directly with Keiser University regarding finances. All I had to do was show up for class (and study really hard). I made great friends with many of the students and found the nursing faculty to be very supportive and available 24-7. After about 14 months of intense course work, I graduated and was almost immediately hired as a clinical RN in a local trauma center.
Thanks to Keiser University, I am now making a comfortable living doing what I love to do. I strongly recommend the Keiser nursing program to any veteran who isn't afraid of a little hard work.

Without the close relationships built by the hardworking and caring [Keiser University] biomedical team, I would have otherwise crumbled in the face of adversity. Your constant support truly made my time with Keiser University not only a pleasure academically, but also a time to gain much field experience. Through my connection with Keiser…, I was able to obtain employment in a molecular laboratory where I enhanced my knowledge of pathological studies and diagnoses. I sharpened my laboratory technique and made lasting connections in the field. I want to thank you for always pushing me to reach new heights and never letting me stand on the sideline. I look forward to an incredibly successful career in the field of healthcare due to the hard work and dedication of the Keiser biomedical staff.

All the professors that I had the pleasure of having are knowledgeable and helpful. I did the Physical Therapist Assistant program here at Keiser University a few years ago and loved it so much that I came back because the class setup is great; having a small classroom size and one class a month. I am able to concentrate more on my studies and get a higher rate of success (grade-wise) out of it.

I started at Keiser University to obtain my Associates Degree in Sports Medicine Fitness Technology. Once I started my core classes I soon realized that this program has so much more to offer. Mark Rogers, who is the sports agent for Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, came in and talked to the class about Sports Law.
By getting a degree in Sports Medicine and Fitness Technology, the doors to many opportunities were opened such as being a personal trainer, athletic trainer, physical therapist, occupational therapist, corrective exercise, working with athletes, seniors and kids as well as many other jobs that I had no idea SMFT played a role in. The small class sizes made it feel as though we were a family.
Within the program we have the privilege to learn the curriculum for many field certifications. For example, during our “Sports Medicine and First Aid” class we had to learn cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). After these courses we not only felt confident with our new profound ability to save a life in a dire situation but we were also now certified in CPR/First Aid and AED. My time spent at Keiser will always be well remembered and the comfort of knowing that the friends I made, including the instructors, will always be there to help guide me on my journey into the health and fitness field of Sports Medicine Fitness Technology!

From day one, I felt that I was made to be an educator. When I turned five years old, my family became a foster family for over 25 children. Until recently, I never realized how this experience influenced my life. Although, I have always wanted to work with children, I was unable to figure out how.<br>I called Keiser University and an admissions counselor advised that I look at the education program. After being accepted into Keiser University, I was introduced to the head of the Elementary Education program who made me feel comfortable and accepted. It was a wonderful journey through the general education courses and the elementary education courses.<br>
As I entered my core teaching classes, I met caring professors. To this day, I am still able to call on these wonderful people for help when I need it. My professors also helped connect me with many volunteer opportunities like working with students at high schools and tutoring a fifth grade student.<br>
Keiser University has been a wonderful blessing for me! I am extremely prepared for my teaching career. In fact, I am so prepared that before graduating I have already been offered a full-time kindergarten teaching position with an elementary school here in Sarasota. I would recommend Keiser University’s Elementary Education program to everyone because the administrators, professors, and staff are extremely helpful, caring, and friendly. It is with excitement and joy that I begin my teaching career.

As a student, working on my bachelor’s degree in the Health Service Administration program, I can say with confidence that I am receiving a high-quality, student-centered education at Keiser University. I like how the classes are designed and condensed into a four-week class. The professors know me by name and make it a point to make themselves available for any and all questions and guidance.
I earned my associate in Health Service Administration this past fall, and because of the mentorship I received from the faculty at Keiser, I was able to obtain a great job! I now work full-time and because of the convenient class schedule at Keiser University, I am able to continue attending classes full-time as well. I am looking forward to earning my bachelor\'s degree and I am proud to say that I am a student at Keiser University.

I graduated with my A.S. in Information Technology, my B.S. in Information Technology Management, and in a couple of weeks my MBA minoring in Information Security Management.
Keiser University has become like family to me. I ended up having a daughter who was in and out of the hospital throughout my entire B.S. program, and there were so many times I just wanted to give up, but none of my professors would allow me to do that. They inspired, encouraged and pushed me to go forward ... and I did. I have been able to achieve the career that I have dreamed of, and I’m able to provide for my daughter and give her the life that she deserves.

My experience in the Sports Medicine and Fitness Technology program through Keiser University has helped me further myself in my career beyond my beliefs. I have been interested in a career in this field for quite some time before I entered the program. Being an exercise enthusiast, I wanted to further my understanding and pursue a career in personal training. I wanted the education behind me so I can educate others in what I was showing them.
I signed up for the AS in Sports Medicine and Fitness Technology program and I have to say it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I learned so much more than what I expected. The program really opened my eyes as to how vast this field really is and I enjoyed it so much that I continued on into the BS SMFT program.
Two weeks after graduating, I landed a job working for a well renowned hospital in my area as a “Health and Fitness Specialist. If it wasn’t for my education I would have never obtained this job. In my academic experience, I had the best professors that anyone could have asked for and would recommend this program to whoever was interested in furthering their education and further advancing themselves.

Our extremely busy endocrine office always welcomes your students to our extern site. The students are always eager to learn about our practice and perform all "hands-on" tasks.

My attending Keiser University changed my life forever. Thanks to Keiser's Financial Department, I was able to easily use my G.I. Bill to pay for my tuition and books. They really handled the process from start to finish. Once I was enrolled in classes, I was given personal, professional, hands-on training from professionals who were amongst the best in their fields. I really enjoyed the small class sizes, compared to larger universities, as it really allowed me to receive more personalized training. The skills I learned at Keiser were almost instantly applicable in the real world, thanks to the way that they set up your class scheduling. The fact that I had finished all of my core Graphics Design classes, prior to Gen Eds, allowed me to begin working in my field as I continued to earn my degree. The experience was truly wonderful and has led to a change in standard of living that would otherwise not have been attainable.

Earlier this session, I was sent to Adak, AK, to catch my new Coast Guard unit which was on its way home from spending several weeks in the Japan area. Near the end of my second week on board and close to the end of our patrol - just entering the warmer Hawaiian-like weather - we were diverted to return back north to Alaska and check on a car carrier that turned on its side. We spent the next week circling the carrier until more assistance arrived. We finally returned back to Hawaii last Thursday. While in the middle of the ocean and without a book, my professor worked with me and provided printable items to ensure I did not fall too far behind. I'd like to report that I am near completion of the class and am going strong with an A! It is wonderful to know that staff members at Keiser are so caring and understanding of the students even when strange things happen in their work environment - like mine.

I wanted to thank the forensic studies department at Keiser University for an amazing and enlightening three years. During my time at Keiser University I attained skills and knowledge that far exceeded my expectations for the program. I met professors from varying forensic science and crime scene specialties, and they each brought with them a unique perspective and taught me skills that I find to be beyond valuable. I began my forensic studies thinking this would only be a crime scene technology program, and quickly realized that it is far more than that. As my studies progressed, I was taught skills in photography, report writing, legal procedures, safety, and various sciences, including forensic chemistry, forensic entomology, forensic anthropology, and many others. The professors are very involved, and make sure the subject matter is thoroughly understood by all the students.
Now that I am at the end of my studies, I have begun my search for a career. Again, I was pleasantly surprised by the initiative and willing assistance from Keiser University in searching for available positions all over the country. You opened my eyes to so many private companies, government agencies and departments I was not even aware of, and probably would have never considered. I am so elated to find out that Keiser University cares about its students, and, it doesn’t end when your classes are over.
My career search has only just begun, but in doing so, I am realizing that the education I received makes me a great candidate for a variety of different careers, from crime scene to crime lab, and a very large number of other positions in varying government agencies. In my search for employment I have found that the skills that the Forensics program has taught me are the exact skills many employers are looking for. I am confident I will find a great career in forensics and I owe it all to your department. Thank you again for an amazing education, and for a program that truly stands above any other crime scene technology program in the country.

While researching the career options that would be obtainable to me if I were to earn a culinary degree, I fell in love with the idea of being a food stylist. I thought this was the perfect choice for me as a foodie with a love for photography. Once I began the Keiser University culinary program, I got to know all of the chef instructors and learned about how they got to be where they are today in their careers. After inquiring about each of their career paths and seeing what a vast array of experiences each of them had in the foodservice industry, I realized there were so many other career options available to a culinary graduate that I had never even imagined. During my time in my culinary classes I fell in love with the fine dining aspect of the industry. For this reason, I chose to do my externship at The Broadmoor Hotel & Resort in Colorado Springs. During my externship at The Broadmoor, I was able to expand on the skills I learned throughout my time at The Keiser University Center for Culinary Arts. I was given the opportunity to work the Garde Manger station, which was a completely new experience to me. I also worked on the hot line in a large commercial kitchen for the first time in my life. I was so thankful for everything I had learned during my time at Keiser. My experience in my classes such as Classical French Cuisine greatly prepared me for my experience at The Broadmoor and enabled me to hone my skills through this real world experience. By the time I finished my externship I had fallen so in love with the foodservice industry that I decided to continue my education with Keiser University. As soon as I returned to Sarasota, I immediately enrolled in their Baking & Pastry program and started classes shortly after. I am currently halfway through the program and I love every minute of it. My chefs are like family to me and show genuine interest in my success. This career change has been the best decision I have ever made and I am so happy that Keiser supported me in this transformation.
