Background
Herzing University, an accredited private nonprofit institution, has announced a wide set of new and redesigned programs spanning healthcare, business, behavioral health and public service.
The expansion adds fresh credential levels, flexible formats and multiple entry points, giving students more ways to find a path suited to their goals and schedules.
Starting this spring and running through fall 2026, Herzing will roll out 10 program launches and expansions across six disciplines, ranging from undergraduate to doctoral degrees, including the university’s first dual master’s degree.
Herzing University President Renee Herzing said the institution has stood beside students at every stage of their journey for more than 60 years, and the expansion would let more people in more fields access practical, career-focused education that communities and employers rely on.
The new offerings include a hybrid Associate of Science in Surgical Technology at the New Orleans campus, online Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Finance, and a Post Master’s Certificate in Holistic Integrative Health for advanced practice nurses.
The university has also redesigned its Criminal Justice and Legal Studies programs to include restorative justice practices and AI-enabled tools relevant to modern legal and law enforcement work.
Other additions include a dual MSN-NLA/MBA program allowing registered nurses to earn two degrees in 24 months, a Doctor of Behavioral Health program with clinical and management tracks, and an expanded Radiologic Technology program at the Clarksville, Tennessee campus.
Chief Academic Officer Kitty Kautzer said the programs were built after listening to employers, healthcare partners and students about existing gaps, adding that the university created pathways that meet students and employers where they currently stand.
