Walsh University

Walsh's unique character and commitment to faith, together with nearly 100 academic majors and minors, award-winning athletics and vibrant student life are primary reasons that Walsh attracts students from around the globe. With outstanding academic facilities, chapels, residence halls, a health and wellness complex, and flagship programs in the areas of health sciences, business, education, and so much more, students have a wide variety of options to make their mark at Walsh University.

In his call to Catholic higher education, Ex Corde Ecclesiae, Pope John Paul II said the objective of a Catholic University is to assure in an institutional manner the Christian manner in the university world confronting the great problems of society and culture. Walsh University does just that. 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. Our hope is that our students leave Walsh not only with a skillset that will transcend the lifetime of their career, but with a sense of purpose about who they are and how they will contribute to their communities, their country, and our world.
