About Blackwell

Blackwell Global University was founded with a clear purpose: to provide accessible, high-quality higher education to students worldwide. On November 17, 2022, we reached a significant milestone by obtaining our first license from the Florida Commission for Independent Education (FCIE), under License No. 12499. This achievement marked the beginning of a new chapter in global education, enabling us to share knowledge and create opportunities for those ready to take the next step in their professional journey.

Under the leadership of our President, Sherman D. Roberts, Blackwell Global University has dedicated itself to offering undergraduate and graduate programs in business, specifically designed to address the challenges of the 21st century. We are committed to providing flexible, accessible, and excellent education, empowering students to advance their careers from anywhere in the world with internationally recognized credentials.

Our reach extends to countries such as the United States, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, and Spain. Today, we continue to expand our horizons, offering world-class education and equipping our students with the tools they need to excel in a dynamic and competitive job market.
