Independence University

Independence University is a private, online career college headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. Independence University is the online branch of Stevens–Henager College, and operates four schools: the School of Healthcare, the School of Business, the School of Technology, and the School of Graphic Arts. Independence University is owned and operated by Center for Excellence in Higher Education .

In 1978, the school began to offer education at a distance and operated as California College for Health Sciences. In 2005, it was renamed Independence University in order to reflect the institution's broader range of programs and its claimed philosophy that education should lead to greater independence. In 2010, Independence University merged with its affiliated institution, Stevens-Henager College, becoming a branch of Stevens-Henager's main campus in Ogden/West Haven, Utah. Stevens-Henager was started in 1891. In 2012, Carl Barney, its owner, turned the school into a non-profit. In 2020, Carl Barney was fined $3 million by the State of Colorado for defrauding students at CEHE schools. Stevens-Henager is currently under heightened cash monitoring by the US Department of Education.
