t John Carroll University, we focus on the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. Through our four learning goals, we strive to develop intellect, character, leadership and service in all that we do. We offer 70 majors in areas including accountancy, biology, business, communications, data science, exercise science, pre-health professions, sports studies and many more. Created exclusively for students in the John M. and Mary Jo Boler School of Business, the seven-semester Professional Development Program helps students build and polish a portfolio of skills by providing the following: skillbuilding workshops, career events, and networking and mentoring opportunities with alumni and recruiters.

sician-in-residence. They’ll help students map out a plan to navigate course selections, understand career paths, gain relevant experience, and build relationships with and apply to medical, dental, pharmacy, physician assistant and other health-related programs. We also provide personalized application and interview preparation through our Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC). An entire team of faculty and staff help students evaluate their skills, create a compelling application, and stand out during the program interview. When students are deciding where to spend their next four years, most colleges and universities will say that they will know students by name. The John Carroll University experience is more personal than that. We want to know what drives our students. Each student’s pathway through JCU will be distinctly their own. We’re focused on providing students with the experiences—both in and out of the classroom—that position them for a successful career and, more importantly, a life well lived. This starts in the classroom, where we help students develop the skills that employers and graduate schools demand. John Carroll students learn to communicate effectively, understand and interpret data, solve complex problems in diverse settings and work collaboratively with others.
