Our mission is the foundation of everything we do for you, beginning with our world-class teaching. It’s why we are recognized as one of the top universities in the Midwest year after year. Behind these rankings are some of the most brilliant minds you will ever meet. And those minds won’t simply teach you from the front of the classroom, they will walk beside you at every step, mentor you, collaborate with you.

John Carroll athletes aspire to win championships and leave a legacy. To achieve the goals each athlete and team sets requires the mental and physical preparation to compete and give their best. And that’s our true marker of success – giving our best in everything we do, which translates to how our athletes find ways to win long after the games are over.
The Blue Streaks participate in the highly competitive Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC), the third oldest conference in college athletics. If you’ve competed at high levels during your high school career and are ready to express interest with our coaches, complete a student-athlete interest form.
John Carroll offers a wide variety of club sport activities for students to get involved in. These club sport teams are student organized and represent JCU in competition against other colleges, universities, and community teams.
We believe that the challenge of rigorous academics – balanced by nurturing support – unleashes a transformative growth and allows you to emerge with self-awareness, confidence, and vision.
While there is plenty of learning that occurs in the classroom, there is also plenty of learning to do beyond the classroom. John Carroll University offers numerous activities on campus geared toward developing the leadership skills of its students.
Perhaps most indicative of who we are is reflected in the 146,000+ service hours our students log annually. We partner with organizations actively addressing issues such as food and hunger, early childhood development, and domestic violence prevention.
If you’re ready to begin building an inspired future and to learn and live for a purpose greater than yourself, we’re ready for you.
