Respected for Character. John Carroll University is a Jesuit Catholic university dedicated to developing women and men with the knowledge and character to lead and to serve. Founded in 1886, JCU is one of 28 Jesuit universities in the United States and has been listed in U.S. News & World Report magazine’s top 10 rankings of Midwest regional universities for more than 20 consecutive years. Degree programs through the College of Arts and Sciences and the Boler School of Business are offered in nearly 60 major fields in the arts, social sciences, natural sciences, and business at the undergraduate level, and in select areas at the master’s level. The Boler School of Business holds dual international AACSB accreditation – a distinction held by only 11% of business programs worldwide, and is further distinguished by its nationally and regionally recognized accountancy and MBA programs. In fall 2013, the Boler School added its Pre-MBA Scholars program, which grants exceptional high school students dual admission to JCU’s undergraduate and 5th-Year MBA programs. The College of Arts & Sciences offers a wide array of rigorous learning opportunities and life-changing experiences for students, including exclusive opportunities such as the NBC/John Carroll University Meet The Press Fellowship in honor of JCU alumnus Tim Russert, Class of 1972, and research and experiential internships. The Value of a John Carroll Degree John Carroll is consistently recognized as one of the top schools in the Midwest for academic quality, student retention, and graduation rates. Our unique size, structure, culture, and environment make us very successful at providing an outstanding education for our students and helping them become John Carroll graduates in FOUR years. Our students not only graduate on time; they are successful. Within six months of graduation, 98 percent of John Carroll graduates surveyed from the class of 2012 were either in the workforce, in graduate school, or fulfilling a commitment to a year of service (visit www.jcu.edu/careercenter/success for details). Although our rankings are important, we judge our performance more by the character and success of our graduates. Our rich Jesuit tradition of learning, leadership, and service is at the heart of who we are as an institution. We challenge and empower our students to think critically, adapt, and solve problems in order to make a difference in an ever-changing world. A John Carroll liberal arts education offers students an engaging academic experience that prepares them not just for their first job, but for life. • Individual attention: Students are taught in small classes by professors who are experts in their fields, not teaching assistants or graduate students. • Faculty expertise: 96 percent of full-time teaching faculty have the highest degree in their field, and the majority of our full-time faculty have published books, articles, or received grants in the last two years. • Inquiry: Because we are an undergraduate-focused university, students have opportunities to work with equipment, get published, and gain invaluable experiences that many students at other research institutions do not get until graduate school. • Internships: Our students engage in invaluable internships at Fortune 500 companies; accounting and law firms; Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and other healthcare facilities; news and media outlets; government agencies; environmental firms; research laboratories; schools; nonprofits; and other organizations. More than 500 companies in Northeast Ohio are owned or operated by John Carroll alumni, allowing many opportunities for our students to gain valuable experiences that set them apart in their job search after graduation. • Service: Our students contribute more than 70,000 hours in service to the community each year. • Cultural competency: From immersion experiences in Central America to study abroad programs in London, Rome, and Madrid (to name a few), many of our students gain a global perspective and begin to understand other points of view. 2 About the ohio athletic conference In all of college athletics, only three conferences are over 100 years old. Only three leagues had the vision and foresight to be organized before the NCAA itself came into existence. The Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) is one of those three. It began in 1902 with the major focus on the welfare of the student-athlete. The conference currently sponsors championships in 23 sports, 12 men’s and 11 women’s. Currently the conference consists of 10 members, including Baldwin Wallace University, Capital University, Heidelberg University, John Carroll University, Marietta College, University of Mount Union, Muskingum University, Ohio Northern University, Otterbein University and Wilmington College.
