Carroll College

Founded in 1909 in Helena, Montana, by the Catholic Diocese of Helena, Carroll offers an outstanding and affordable education that positions students aggressively for successful job placement and admission to graduate, law and medical schools. Among the many benefits Carroll students enjoy are cutting-edge undergraduate research and professional internship opportunities in Montana's dynamic capital city and generous merit scholarships.

Consistently ranked as one of the best colleges in the West, Carroll offers excellence in education and far more. Dedicated to "being the difference," Carroll students and professors are people of action in service to the human family. Being involved is a personal decision, and most Carroll faculty, staff and students choose to volunteer their time to help others less fortunate. In your four years at Carroll, you will have a professor who has served in the Peace Corps or another volunteer organization. You will study among top minds with a conscience and a commitment to making the world a better place, one selfless act at a time. It's called service learning, and it's a foundation of the Carroll College experience.

Carroll College is a Catholic, diocesan, liberal arts college in the ecumenical tradition of the Second Vatican Council.

As a liberal arts school, Carroll College acknowledges the practical role of preparing its students for a career, but it also affirms the traditional role of providing for the expansion of the intellectual, imaginative, and social awareness of its students. It is dedicated to providing for its students the means for their full realization of a dual goal of vocation and enlightenment. Thus, while providing substantial professional and pre-professional programs, the College encourages and expects all students to participate in a broad spectrum of academic disciplines.
