Cardinal Stritch University

Founded in 1937 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Assisi, Cardinal Stritch University is the largest Franciscan institution of higher education in North America. Stritch provides value-centered graduate and undergraduate education to a diverse population of more than 6,800 men and women of all faiths and ages in four colleges: Arts and Sciences, Education and Leadership, Business and Management, and the Ruth S. Coleman College of Nursing.

With additional sites and classroom locations in Milwaukee, Madison, and the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, the University has gained recognition as a pioneer in the areas of special education, literacy, nursing, and business; and is quickly becoming a leader in the areas of lay ministry formation and leadership development.

A close-knit community full of opportunities for learning, service, leadership, and self-discovery, Stritch offers more than 60 fields of study infused with the Franciscan values and enriched by the Catholic tradition. The University boasts a main campus comprising 40+ park-like acres near the shore of Lake Michigan, a student-faculty ratio of 17:1, and a vibrant student life environment that features a new Information Commons, the new Assisi residence hall, renovated athletic facilities, rich campus ministry and community service opportunities, performing and fine arts, and much more.
