Overview

Everglades University is a private university headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, with a handful of campuses and a large online student population. It is built around career-changers and working adults rather than traditional college-age freshmen, with degree programs designed to move students through in accelerated, non-traditional formats. The university's identity is defined less by a residential campus culture than by its specific professional niches.

Academics

Aviation and aerospace programs are a genuine specialty, alongside less common offerings in alternative medicine and construction management, plus more conventional business degrees. Programs are structured for working students, with accelerated terms and significant online delivery even for students technically enrolled at a physical campus.

Worth knowing

This is a career-college model more than a traditional four-year experience — a good fit for an adult finishing a degree around a job, less so for a student wanting dorms, campus traditions, or a conventional freshman-year social scene.
