It’s time to Brave Your Quest.

When deciding where to transfer, most universities say “we’ll know your name.” The John Carroll University experience is more personal: we want to know what drives you. We provide the experiences that position you for a successful career and, more importantly, a life well lived. Our students become trailblazers, because the challenge of rigorous academics balanced by nurturing support unleashes a student’s transformative growth and allows them to emerge with self-awareness, confidence, and vision. We call this journey a quest, and we invite you to join us. It’s time to Brave Your Quest.
