Carlow University

Carlow University is a comprehensive Catholic masters university which prepares students for leadership and compassionate service in professional and personal life.

With an enrollment currently around 2,200, and a student-faculty ratio of 10-1, students enjoy small classes and individual instruction. The student population is culturally diverse and contains traditional and nontraditional students, and more than half are first generation.

Carlow believes in the education of the person both inside and outside the classroom. We encourage students to develop skills in judgment, leadership, analysis, decision-making and communication. Our philosophy embraces the mission of the university as we seek to involve students in a holistic, self-directed, lifelong journey of discovery and empowerment in which emotional, spiritual, vocational, intellectual, environmental, physical, and social aspects of their lives are challenged toward growth and fulfillment.

Carlow's mission acknowledges the significance of education outside of the traditional classroom setting. The Student Life Division uses a variety of education and student developmental models to develop our programs. It integrates commuter and resident student activities, provides meaningful opportunities for learning professional leadership skills, and puts student activity programming into the hands of students.
