Cardinal Stritch University is a private Roman Catholic university located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was founded in 1937 as St. Clare College by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi to train nuns as teachers. It was renamed Cardinal Stritch College in 1946 for Samuel Cardinal Stritch of Chicago, who was archbishop of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee during the 1930s. The institution became Cardinal Stritch University in 1997. In 1998, the university expanded to offer its first doctoral program.
The university also has campuses located in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Edina, Minnesota, and an evening program in Rochester, Minnesota.
Cardinal Stritch University's total enrollment for the 2007-2008 is about 6,994. Tuition for the 2007-2008 school year is $18,624, one of the lowest of the 20 independent colleges and universities in Wisconsin.
The Cardinal Stritch Wolves compete in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC). Both the Men's and Women's Basketball teams are consistently among the leaders in the CCAC and routinely make it to the NAIA National Basketball Tournament.
Previously Cardinal Stritch was a member of the Lake Michigan Conference and won the Men’s Basketball Championship in 1987. The men's team also was a five time NLCAA Great Lakes District Men's basketball champion in the mid 1980's.
Women’s coach Rich Pinella is widely considered one of the best women’s small school coaches in the country.
