About Us

Herzing University

Herzing University was one of the first post secondary institutions founded to train students for the computer industry. Since 1965 business and computer related education has been our focus at Herzing, even as we grew to encompass eleven colleges in the U.S. and Canada.

While expanding our campuses, we also diversified our educational programs to include the fields of business management, electronics and health care. We also raised the level of credentials from not only diplomas, but associate of science degrees at all U.S. campuses and bachelor of science degrees at most of them.

At Herzing we also offer preparation for certification exams such as Microsoft® Certified Systems Engineer with credits (in the U.S.) transferable to a degree program. Select a campus for a list of programs offered at each location.

Through our career development and employment services office at each campus, we track industry needs and assists students in obtaining employment in their chosen field.
