John Carroll UniversityJohn Carroll University is a private, co-educational Roman Catholic university in the United States. Founded in 1886 as Saint Ignatius College by the Society of Jesus, John Carroll University is one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. History John Carroll University was founded as St. Ignatius College in 1886. It has been in continuous operation as a degree-granting institution since that time. In 1923 the College was renamed John Carroll University, after the first archbishop of the Catholic Church in the United States. In 1935 it was moved from its original location on the West Side of Cleveland to its present site in University Heights, a suburb 10 miles east of downtown Cleveland. In September 1968 the University made the transition from full-time male enrollment to a fully coeducational institution as women were admitted to the College of Arts and Sciences for the first time. In recent years, the University has undergone extensive reconstruction and expansion. In 2003, the University opened the 265,000 ft² (25,000 m²) Dolan Science Center, named after alumnus Charles Dolan, founder of Cablevision. The Dolan Science center is widely considered one of the premiere science facilities in the Midwest. Core Curriculum John Carroll University consists of three schools: The College of Arts and Sciences; the Boler School of Business; and the Graduate School. The College of Arts and Sciences requires a rigorous liberal arts core for all undergraduate students. Among the requirements are a first year seminar course, two semesters of a foreign language, three philosophy courses, and two theology courses. The Boler School of Business offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Business Administration. The Boler school's undergraduate business program is regarded as one of the top in the state of Ohio.
