The Student Experience at Herzing

My time at Herzing University planted valuable life lessons that guided me beyond my academic career.
Tony Gonzalez
Public Safety | Kenosha Campus
I chose to attend Herzing because of my family and because I wanted to build upon my professional skills. Herzing was able to provide me with something I strongly valued: The flexibility to help me balance school, family and a full-time job.
Tyrone McCall
Public Safety | Birmingham Campus
After meeting the advisors and staff at Herzing University, I knew it was the right school for me. The Herzing staff did a great job explaining how well the university would work with a nontraditional college student like me with a family and a career.
Brady Esser
Public Safety | Brookfield/Milwaukee Campus
Today, I am able to apply much of what I learned in my classes to my job as a Customer Protection Officer.
Malaika Maulsby
Public Safety | Online Campus
The online program is hard, but I learned that if you want something, you will do whatever it takes to accomplish your goal. My community health course helped me prepare to rebuild parts of my community and now I’m seriously considering pursuing my master’s degree in criminal justice.
