History
This organization was founded in 1996 and originally was a management consulting, training and human development institution, helping individuals to improve performance in business and their daily lives. In 1999, the company partnered with Miami-Dade WAGES Coalition (later known as CareerSource South Florida) and started training welfare and dislocated clients. Eventually MRI expanded its partnership ventures to include CareerSource Broward, Vocational Rehabilitation, and the Veteran’s Administration.[3]
In 2001, Management Resources Institute (MRI) was founded as a DBA, and the institution was licensed by the Florida Commission of Independent Education (CIE).[4] It was during this period that MRI developed a curriculum to prepare college graduates of foreign origin to become certified teachers of the state of Florida. In 2007, the Council on Occupational Education (COE) granted MRI six years of accreditation. The US Department of Education (USDOE) approved MRI to administer Federal Financial Aid in 2008. COE accredited the institution for another 6 years after a re-affirmation visit in August 2012.[5]
MRI introduced an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing in February 2012, and this became its most popular academic offering to date. In 2014, COE and CIE approved MRI’s request to change its name to Management Resources College (MRC). Later that year, the school was accredited by the Accrediting Council of Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS) to offer four year degrees. University status was awarded in August 2016 and Management Resources College (MRC) became Miami Regional University (MRU).[6]
