John Carroll University
John Carroll University (JCU) is a private Jesuit university in University Heights, Ohio, United States. Located in a suburb of Cleveland, it is primarily an undergraduate, liberal arts institution composed of a College of Arts and Sciences, College of Health, Boler College of Business, and Graduate School. It was founded in 1886 as St. Ignatius College and renamed in 1923 after John Carroll, the first Catholic bishop in the United States and founder of Georgetown University. The university enrolls approximately 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students as of fall 2024.
John Carroll University was founded in 1886 by the Society of Jesus under the title of St. Ignatius College, after Ignatius of Loyola, as a college for men. It has been in continuous operation as a degree-granting institution since then. Founded as the 19th of 27 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States, it is a member of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities.
In 1923, the college was renamed John Carroll University, honoring the first archbishop of the Catholic Church in the United States. Carroll founded Georgetown University.
In 1935, it was moved from its original location on the west side of Cleveland, Ohio, to its present site in University Heights, Ohio, a suburb 10 miles (16 km) east of downtown Cleveland. However, the high school section retained its name as Saint Ignatius High School and continues to operate at the original site. What is now known as University Heights was previously named Idlewood; the city's name was changed during the construction of the university campus.
During World War II, John Carroll University was one of 131 colleges and universities that nationally that were part of the V-12 Navy College Training Program which offered students a path to a Navy commission.
In September 1968, the university transitioned from full-time male enrollment to a fully coeducational institution, admitting women to the College of Arts and Sciences for the first time. The university has undergone extensive reconstruction and expansion. In 2003, the university opened the $66 million, 265,000 sq ft (24,600 m2) Dolan Center for Science and Technology, named after alumnus Charles Dolan (founder of Cablevision and HBO) and his wife Helen Dolan. The couple met while attending John Carroll. In 2011, the university completed the removal of the Bohannon Science building and celebrated the Hamlin Quad enhancement project.
The university announced in December 2017 that its board of directors had named the school's first non-Jesuit president, Michael D. Johnson. Johnson had been the provost at Babson College in Wellesley, Massachusetts. He began his tenure on July 1, 2018, and was officially inaugurated on September 6, 2018.
More than 25 major buildings — predominantly Collegiate Gothic in architecture — on 65 landscaped acres make up the John Carroll campus. Saint Ignatius Hall, located in the center of campus and surmounted by the university's landmark Grasselli Tower, bears clear resemblance to the English royal palace Hampton Court.
