Herzing University-Kenosha

What is the accreditation of Herzing University-Kenosha?

Herzing University is institutionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, or HLC. Kenosha is a Herzing University campus, rather than a separately accredited university. Institutional accreditation evaluates the university as an institution; it is not the same as approval or accreditation of every individual degree program.

Some careers, particularly in nursing and other licensed health professions, have additional program-approval, accreditation, examination, or state-licensure requirements. Applicants should check the status of the specific Kenosha program and credential with the relevant accreditor and Wisconsin licensing authority. Institutional accreditation is relevant to eligibility for federal student aid, but it does not guarantee that another college will accept a course in transfer or that a graduate will qualify for a professional license in every state.

What are the admission requirements at Herzing University-Kenosha?

Herzing University-Kenosha does not have an open-admission policy. Degree-seeking applicants should expect to complete the university's application process and document high school completion or an equivalent credential; academic records and GPA information are part of its reported admissions requirements.

In its 2024-25 admissions reporting, the campus did not identify SAT or ACT scores, class rank, recommendations, or a college-preparatory curriculum as standard requirements. It did report an additional admissions test requirement and an English-proficiency testing requirement, so applicants should establish which assessments apply to their circumstances. Health and nursing programs may have separate prerequisites and clinical-entry conditions that are distinct from general university admission.

The campus reported admitting 46 of 50 first-time, degree-seeking applicants, an acceptance rate of 92%. That figure describes a small applicant group; it does not mean admission to a selective program, clinical placement, or a particular course sequence is automatic.

What are the application fees and waivers at Herzing University-Kenosha?

Applicants should check the current Herzing University application and admissions instructions for any charge that applies to their applicant type and program. An application charge, if one applies, is separate from tuition, required academic fees, and any later enrollment-related payment.

Anyone seeking a fee waiver should ask the admissions office about eligibility and the request procedure before submitting an application or making a payment. That is especially important for transfer and returning applicants, whose application steps may differ from those of first-time students.

What types of ROTC programs are available at Herzing University-Kenosha?

Herzing University-Kenosha is not presented as an on-campus Army, Air Force, or Navy ROTC host. Students interested in becoming military officers should not assume that enrollment at Kenosha automatically permits participation in another college's ROTC unit.

Participation through a host institution, where permitted, would depend on that program's cross-enrollment rules, course scheduling, eligibility standards, and acceptance process. ROTC scholarships can also carry service obligations. A prospective student should obtain confirmation from the relevant ROTC host and Herzing about participation and whether ROTC coursework would count toward a Herzing degree before building an academic plan around it.

What are the requirements for transfer students at Herzing University-Kenosha?

Transfer applicants should submit prior college records for an official Herzing University review. Admission as a transfer student and acceptance of particular courses toward a degree are separate decisions: a completed class may transfer as credit without satisfying a requirement in the intended major.

Herzing reports awarding credit for some prior learning and accepting Advanced Placement credit. How other college coursework, examinations, or experiential learning applies depends on the university's current policies and the receiving program. Applicants should provide transcripts from each college attended and request a written, program-specific evaluation showing which requirements remain.

This review is particularly important for nursing and other sequenced programs, where science-course age limits, minimum grades, clinical requirements, and program-specific credit rules may affect the time needed to graduate. The campus reported 44 incoming transfer degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates in 2024-25.

What types of study abroad programs are available at Herzing University-Kenosha?

Study abroad is not a defining feature of Herzing University-Kenosha's published career-focused campus experience. Students should not assume that a semester abroad, exchange, or international clinical placement will fit their program simply because it is available at some other universities.

A student considering an independently arranged program would need advance written guidance on course equivalencies, residency requirements, clinical rules where applicable, and financial-aid eligibility. Approval to travel is not the same as approval to apply overseas coursework toward a degree, and professional programs may have particularly limited scheduling flexibility.
