History
American Sentinel University was originally established through the integration of three separate schools: the American College of Computer & Information Sciences, Sentinel University, and American Graduate School of Management. The combined institution offered the technology programs of the American College of Computer & Information Sciences and the business programs of the American Graduate School of Management. Sentinel University was founded in 2004, while the American Graduate School of Management was established in 2000. The American College of Computer & Information Sciences was founded in 1988 by Lloyd E. Clayton Jr. as the American Institute of Computer Science.[7]
In March 2021, it merged with Post University,[8] becoming the American Sentinel College of Nursing & Health Sciences.
