What Carlos Albizu University does

Carlos Albizu University is a private, non-profit higher education institution headquartered in Doral (Miami), Florida, with additional campuses in San Juan and Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, plus a fully online virtual campus. Founded in 1966 (with one firmographic source referencing 1942), the institution specializes in psychology and behavioral sciences, offering undergraduate, master's, doctoral (Psy.D. and Ph.D.), and professional certificate programs across formats including clinical psychology, counseling psychology, school psychology, industrial/organizational psychology, neuropsychology, autism spectrum disorders, and an innovative B.S. in Cyberpsychology. Supporting infrastructure includes the Institutional Center for Scientific Research (CIIC, established 2013), on-campus Albizu Clinics providing community mental health services at all three physical locations, and partnerships with NIH, NSF, APA, and HACU that channel external research grants and fellowships to students.

The institution operates on a tuition-driven revenue model with supplementary income from continuing education programs distributed via an Eventbrite marketplace channel. Course delivery relies on industry-standard learning management systems (Canvas as the primary platform, with Blackboard also in use), supported by Starfish for student success tracking and Respondus LockDown Browser for exam integrity. Go-to-market is event-driven and community-oriented: campus open houses with high-profile speakers, scholarship workshops, online application portals, financial aid assistance, and targeted community outreach (including the United for Venezuela humanitarian initiative and AARP Puerto Rico healthy aging collaboration). The institution serves over 3,000 students, employs 101-250 staff, and was recognized by Forbes Advisor as a top 10 online master's in psychology program, notably for having the lowest median student loan debt among ranked schools. PsyD students achieve a 90% internship match rate at clinical sites including Harvard Medical School, VA hospitals, and Children's Hospital of Orange County.
