A University is Born: Carlow University Offers a Degree Above
In the Fall of 2004, in recognition of its distinguished faculty and commitment to innovative, diverse and competitive programs on the undergraduate and graduate level, Carlow College proudly began a new life as "Carlow University."
What makes Carlow University distinct is its primary commitment to teaching; its mission; its welcoming, value-centered environment; its diverse student population; its small size and personal approach; and its focus on women.
In honoring the University's rich tradition of embracing students of all ethnic and religious traditions, Carlow also remains one of the most diverse campus communities in Pennsylvania. Minority students comprise 22% of its student population. And while Carlow is proud of its Catholic heritage (approximately half of Carlow's students are Catholic), the University welcomes and serves students of all faiths and spiritual traditions.
More than 2,200 Carlow students are enrolled in over 50 undergraduate academic programs and 16 graduate programs.
