YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS

YOU Curiosity is a funny thing. One “why?” leads to another and — before you know it — your minutes, hours, days, years are full of your pursuit. When curiosity drives you, work seems like play.

In fact, it energizes you to go farther, reach higher, even against all odds. Whatever your spark, that thing that drives your ambition or fuels your talent, now is your time to chase it. But that’s not enough. You’ll need knowledge and a guide that can help you navigate the real world. We are here for you. Since 1914, we’ve helped our students find their way, and we know how to turn pondering into practical skill while keeping its passion.

Now we’re curious: W H E R E W I L L Y O U G O ?

It’s true: Venturing outside the country (and your comfort zone) will give you flexibility and confidence to tackle new challenges and an appreciation for the various ways of living in this world we all share.

MANY STUDENTS CHOOSE JWU BECAUSE OF OUR AMAZING STUDY ABROAD PROGRAM. We know how important these experiences are for our students, so we build them into the curriculum and offer scholarships so that as many students as possible can participate.

Since 1914, we’ve graduated students ready to take on their craft. Your success is our success.

College is a time of discovery, a time to try and fail — to try again and accomplish things you’ve only ever dreamed of. No matter where you choose to learn, college will change you — but at Johnson & Wales, the difference is undeniable.

How do we help our students make their dreams a reality?

SCHOLARSHIPS AND GRANTS We know that affording higher education is on the mind of students and families, which is why we’re proud to report that 97% of our on-campus students received institutional scholarships and/or grants. That makes our tuition less than many private universities.

DEDICATED ADVISING Students have a personal financial advisor who can guide them every step of the way from personal loan counseling, education and strategies. Even after you enroll, we can help students with textbooks and figuring out study abroad. We are committed to you.

CAREER-READY EDUCATION Whether they’re on the job, pursuing their graduate degree, serving their country or volunteering, our alumni are doing incredible things after graduation. In fact, our Career Outcomes Rate is consistently higher than the national average. Our secret? It starts in the classroom with professors who are more like mentors.

Theory and plenty of practice prepare you for your future. It’s clear: At JWU, we do everything we can to help the ones who rise
