School Description
Provided by Walsh UniversityWalsh University is an independent, coeducational Catholic, liberal arts and sciences institution. Founded by the Brothers of Christian Instruction, Walsh University is dedicated to educating its students to become leaders in service to others through a values-based education with an international perspective in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
Walsh University believes in the desirability of a small university that promotes academic excellence, a diverse community and close student-teacher interactions. The University provides its students a higher education that fosters critical thinking, effective communication, spiritual growth, and personal, professional and cultural development. Walsh University encourages individuals to act in accordance with reason guided by the example and teachings of Jesus Christ.
Word about Walsh’s unique character and feel, together with its 50 major programs, award-winning athletics and vibrant student life, is spreading fast. This year, the university is celebrating seven consecutive years of record-setting enrollment.
With outstanding academic facilities and residence halls, a new campus just outside of Rome, a new health and wellness complex, and unique programs in areas such as bioinformatics and museum studies, students have a wide variety of options to make their mark at Walsh University.
As a Catholic University welcoming students of all faiths, Walsh continues to pursue its enduring mission: the creation of leaders through service to others. Volunteer work is not simply encouraged; it is required as part of the university’s core curriculum. Walsh students build homes for Katrina victims in New Orleans, tutor and mentor school children, prepare taxes for low-income families, distribute meals, work to prevent recidivism among nonviolent offenders and perform missionary work around the world.
While students’ involvement in communities here and abroad takes many forms, every service experience imparts important life lessons that build character and leadership.
The Walsh University academic programs offer nearly 50 undergraduate majors, five graduate programs in Education, Counseling, MBA, Physical Therapy, and Theology, and an adult accelerated degree program for working adults. Our focus is on teaching the whole student, mind, body, and spirit. We accomplish this through hands-on learning which goes beyond the books. Our experienced and dedicated faculty comes from all over the world to offer an international perspective which is always rooted in faith. At Walsh University, our goal is your success, for life.
