At Sullivan University, learning goes beyond the classroom. With hands-on experiences and real-world learning opportunities, students get the skills they need to do more, achieve more, and become who they’re meant to be.

Sullivan University is known as the School of Doing with career-focused programs such as healthcare, business, cybersecurity, hospitality, and more. Degree options range from certificate to doctoral level.
