Founded in 1871, Ursuline College is the oldest women’s college in Ohio,
as well as one of the first postsecondary Catholic schools in the United
States. Located in Pepper Pike, about 15 miles east of Cleveland, the
school combines natural beauty and a small-town atmosphere with easy
access to the resources of a large city.

Though Ursuline’s admissions don’t discriminate on the basis of religion,
the school’s Catholic heritage is a fundamental part of student life.
Spiritual growth is one of Ursuline College’s goals for its students, and
to help meet this goal, the campus ministry holds a weekly mass and
provides opportunities for community service.

Ursuline’s academics break down into three divisions: the School of Arts
and Sciences, the Breen School of Nursing, and the School of Graduate and
Professional Studies. The college is liberal arts based, but it does
offer two BFA/BA programs in Art Studio and Art Visual Communication
Design. As of 2010, Ursuline began its first doctoral program in Nursing
Practice.

The Ursuline College Accelerated Program (UCAP) is designed for working
adults. Students in UCAP can earn up to 27 credits per year, taking
classes in the morning, afternoon, or evening. Unlike Ursuline’s other
academic programs, the UCAP programs are professionally based. For more
