The Student Experience at Herzing
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.

Public Safety | Minneapolis CampusThe 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.
