REVIEWS
Read What Students Are SayingI learned everything from fingerprinting to using the right tools for analyzing, collecting and preserving evidence. I also learned about police protocol, and the dangers that can occur on the job and how to avoid being in a hazardous situation.
lucy from opalocka, FL
Actually I have just recently been accepted to Keiser University but as I can tell so far the university staff are highly educated and very effective in helping their students acquire their goals. I am looking forward to the experience of attending Keiser University.
Victoria from Daytona Beach, FL
Learned more than enough for my program.
Laura from Jacksonville, FL
When visiting Keiser University's Lakeland campus i was very pleased with the way the advisors and faculty treated each other and guests. The main priority on this campus is to make sure you accomplish your career goals and not be distracted by anything else. Immediately when I sat down with the advisor all questions were answered, and never lost communication with advisor through admissions process.STRONGLY RECOMMEND.....

Shirley from Winter Haven, FL
Keiser University is an accelerated college. Be ready to study hard and take a mid-term, quizzes, post test, and final in one month. It is very rewarding though knowing you will be finished in sixteen months, rather than twenty-four months. I'll be working and making an income while the college down the street is still in class.
melanie from Palm Coast, FL
