Brescia University School Description

Brescia University is a coeducational Catholic institution founded by the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph. The University offers certificates, associate's, baccalaureate and master's degrees through semester and time-shortened programs of higher education in the Ursuline tradition. Brescia emphasizes the liberal arts and prepares its traditional and non-traditional students for successful careers and for service to others.

As a Catholic Institution, Brescia University shares the contemporary church mission to proclaim the gospel, uphold human dignity, participate in God's ongoing creation and serve others. In fulfilling this church mission, the University seeks to preserve and enrich the Catholic tradition of dialogue between faith and reason in the pursuit of truth in a manner that is open to and respectful of all faith traditions.

Brescia University provides a quality liberal arts education that shapes the whole person and is characterized by the search for knowledge and career preparation.
