Cardinal Stritch University - Milwaukee School Description

Founded in 1937 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi, Cardinal Stritch University is comprehensive and coeducational. We serve students of all faiths and ages in four colleges: College of Arts and Sciences, College of Business and Management, College of Education and Leadership, and the Ruth S. Coleman College of Nursing. Stritch is an intimate, dedicated community. Student/faculty ratio is 16 to 1. Stritch faculty and staff are committed to the values of St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226): creating a caring community, sharing compassion for others, reverencing creation, and peacemaking.

Our mission is to transform lives through value-centered education, and we constantly strive to nurture in our students - from the 17-year-olds who join us right out of high school to the many adults who study in our four colleges - a commitment to contributing to their families, businesses, communities and the world we share by becoming ethical decision-makers.
