The Student Experience at Herzing
Taking online classes at Herzing University gave me the ability to pursue my dream of becoming a police officer while I continued to care for my family and work three jobs.
Brooke Stoeklen
Public Safety | Minneapolis CampusAfter graduating with my associate’s degree in medical office administration, I received several job offers. However, I decided to pursue a different passion and continue my education at Herzing with an associate’s degree in Criminal Justice. Today, I’m the owner of Daden Investigative Services in St. Louis, where I work as a licensed private investigator. Thank you, Herzing, for helping me jumpstart my career!

Malaika Maulsby
Public Safety | Online CampusI was inspired to attend Herzing University because of the "Badge to Grads" scholarship program and the fact that the university has experience working with students who are already working professionals.
David Sampson
Public Safety | Online 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.
