Inspired Futures at JCU
John Carroll University is a leading Jesuit Catholic liberal arts institution preparing a diverse student body to strategically face the challenges of tomorrow. Through academic rigor, professional development, experiential learning, and the Jesuit ideal of care for the whole person, John Carroll shapes the leaders of the future. Our graduates serve society with developed critical thinking skills, a strong moral foundation, and an awareness for the greater good. The University's students are entrepreneurs, innovators, leaders, collaborators, and athletes.
The work of the future
A recent study by Dell Technologies and the Institute for the Future found that 85% of jobs and career paths that'll be open to job seekers in 2030 don't currently exist. John Carroll University prepares students for a future filled with unknowns. Our faculty empowers students to build core skills—interpersonal communication, critical thinking, and innovation. Our graduate's outcomes, career placements, and earning potential are just pieces of the puzzle. Their ability to apply their education to a rapidly changing world is the bigger picture. University leadership makes this promise to students: The future will never surprise you—instead, you will surprise the future.
