For more than 30 years, Independence University (IU) has helped working adults to get the educational credentials they need to advance their careers.

Specializing from the start in health education programs, IU early on made its mark in areas such as Respiratory Care education, becoming the first institution to offer accredited Respiratory Care programs at a distance. Throughout its history, IU has also reached beyond the barriers of traditional on-campus education to offer programs not only to working adults across the United States but also to those serving in the military and to international students.
