That’s why we’re committed to providing a range of services designed to enrich your educational experience at Herzing and multiply your opportunities to achieve career success.
Experience the Herzing Difference
Career-focused, convenient and caring—at Herzing, our community has been defined by these ideals since 1965. We’ve helped students from all walks of life achieve their career goals on their schedule, with a special focus on supporting military students, veterans and their families. That’s because our founder, Henry Herzing, was a proud U.S. Navy veteran who understood the challenges military students face when continuing their educations.
As a private, nonprofit university, we're committed to giving you the personalized support you need to succeed in the classroom and beyond. We work closely with industry leaders and employers to ensure our programs are relevant for our students to succeed at the next level. We believe a well-rounded education goes beyond laptops and textbooks. That’s why we offer a caring, supportive community that fosters growth and enhanced learning.

What is QuickPaths?
QuickPaths is a term for the features of our programs that aim to help you complete your education and pursue your next chapter as quickly as possible.
Generous transfer credit
We'll evaluate college credit earned from other institutions in the past and determine how much you can transfer into your chosen program. We’ll also evaluate your military training for prior learning credits and consider military occupational specialties (MOS), Air Force/Space Force Specialty Codes (AFSC) and Navy and Coast Guard ratings, too.
You can transfer up to 90 approved credits into many of our bachelor’s degree programs.1
Stackable programs
Our programs can be stacked or built upon each other, to provide faster pathways to advance your education in the future. For instance, you can earn an Associate of Science in Medical Assisting now, then “stack” it into a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences later.
There are all sorts of possibilities. Our programs are designed to help you build your path to the future you want in a way that fits with your service – and your life.
Dual credit opportunities
Students pursuing a bachelor’s degree may have the opportunity to complete dual credit toward a master’s degree if they meet academic performance requirements.
For example, students who choose our Military Medic to BSN degree pathway can take up to three master’s-level classes if they maintain a GPA of 3.0 in their bachelor’s classes.
Finish school faster
In addition to transfer credit opportunities, some courses utilize MyPath learning technology that moves you quickly through content you already know. That way, you can focus your study on mastering new material.
You can complete a Bachelor of Science program in three years (36 months) or less, compared to traditional 4-year bachelor’s degree programs.2
