717 Frederica Street, Owensboro, KY 42301
Description
Located in the charming southern town of Owensboro, Kentucky, Brescia University is committed to the spiritual, professional and academic development of its students.
While Brescia is a four-year liberal arts college that offers bachelor’s degrees in such fields as Art, English, Foreign Languages, History, Sociology and Theology, Brescia’s academics are, in great part, professionally oriented as Brescia recognizes the importance of a practical education.
Brescia makes sure to stay updated on the most in-demand professions so that it can adjust its curriculum to offer degrees in the most marketable fields. Some of the professional majors currently offered at Brescia include Business, Education, Engineering, Human Services, Medical Technology, Social Work and Speech-Language Pathology.
Pre-professional studies include Pre-Law, Pre-Pharmacy, Pre-Physical Therapy and Pre-Veterinary Science.
Student life is, in part, also dedicated to helping students succeed. Academic and creative student clubs, student publications and campus lectures are some of the ways Brescia does this.
Another focus of a Brescia education is the spiritual life. As a Catholic school, Brescia holds mass regularly and also offers worship activities and campus ministry opportunities, including a music ministry.
A high school diploma or GED and submission of transcripts and SAT or ACT scores are required for freshmen students who have been out of high school for less than three years. Those who have been out of high school for more than three years don’t need to submit test scores.
Qualified Brescia students may receive financial aid through federal and other sources.
