Albizu University — a private, nonprofit institution of higher education known worldwide for its multicultural post-graduate higher education in psychology and other human services fields — has announced the launch of four groundbreaking undergraduate programs with classes beginning in January 2026.
The new programs combine Albizu’s six-decade legacy in psychology and human behavior with forward-thinking innovation. Fully designed to meet the current evolving needs of South Florida’s workforce, the programs can be completed in four years or less. Students are required to complete 120 credits to graduate.
The university offers support services and other resources to its students, such as individualized point of contact from point of application to graduation (Student Success Coaches per program of study), tutoring, opportunities to participate in intercollegiate athletics (men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, softball, men’s and women’s cross country and track and field), robust career services connecting graduates with workforce opportunities, and student support services.
“These are not just new degrees, they are strategic pathways that blend science, technology, and cultural intelligence to prepare students for emerging careers,” said Dr. Yianni Vassiliou, chancellor of Albizu’s Miami Campus. “Our programs are human-centered, science-based, and forward-looking — an evolution of Albizu’s legacy and a reflection of where the workforce is heading.”
Designed in collaboration with employers and workforce boards, Albizu’s new undergraduate programs are:

Equally important, Albizu University remains the most affordable private non-profit institution in South Florida with undergraduate tuition that is lower than many public universities for out-of-state and international students. Unlike public institutions whose non-resident tuition nearly quadruples, Albizu maintains a flat tuition rate, making quality education accessible to all students regardless of residency status.
“We’re committed to access and affordability,” Dr. Vassiliou added. “Albizu’s programs give students the opportunity to pursue a meaningful, future-focused education without financial barriers.”
