Argosy University
The origins of Argosy University can be traced to the
American Schools of Professional Psychology, the Medical Institute
of Minnesota, and the University of Sarasota.
The American Schools
of Professional Psychology was founded in the early 1970s by
a group of psychologists, educators, and other professionals who
concluded that the preparation of psychology practitioners would
be better served by schools that emphasized teaching and practical
training.
The Medical Institute of Minnesota was established
to
prepare skilled allied health care personnel for careers in
hospitals and clinics. Program offerings responded to the emerging
needs
of the medical community.
Throughout its 30-year history,
the University of Sarasota provided a practice-oriented program
of
study that
met the needs of working professionals while maintaining
the highest academic standards.
These three schools merged to
form Argosy University
on September 1, 2001. Argosy University. Three strong foundations. One proud tradition.
Accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and a member of the
North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, Argosy University
has a long and proud tradition of academic excellence.
