HCI College History
HCI College was founded in 1993 as Health Career Institute (HCI). Initially, American Heart Association (AHA) courses were conducted on a custom basis for physicians, nurses, and EMS providers.
In 2016, HCI was granted the ability to award qualifying students Federal Student Aid from the US Department of Education. In 2017, HCI added a branch campus in Lauderdale Lakes.
HCI College History
In 2019, HCI moved its Lauderdale Lakes branch to a newly remodeled facility in Fort Lauderdale. At the same time, due to the commitment to providing quality higher education to the communities we serve, Health Career Institute underwent a name change. Health Career Institute became as it is known today, HCI College.
