Independence University has permanently closed, however CEHE remains in operation.

Independence University has had to make the very difficult decision to close its doors.

Our deepest appreciation goes out to our externships sites, our business partners, and the education community that supported us over the years. We could not have accomplished our goal of improving lives through education without you.

To our faculty, staff and CEHE family – thank you for your loyalty and your commitment to putting student success above all else.

And to our thousands of students and graduates – you are the beacon of light that will change the world. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for letting us be part of your life’s journey. We wish you the best of luck in all you do.
