History
The origins of
Argosy University trace to three separate institutions: the American School of
Professional Psychology, the Medical Institute of Minnesota, and the University
of Sarasota. In the late 1970s, Michael Markovitz founded Illinois
School of Professional Psychology, which later changed its name to the American
School of Professional Psychology. In 1976, Markovitz became the founding chairman
of Argosy Education Group, which acquired the University of Sarasota in 1992.
The University of Sarasota was a business and education-focused school and was
founded in 1969. Six years later Argosy Education Group acquired the
health profession training school the Medical Institute of Minnesota, which was
established in 1961.
