Welcoming all persons of good will

St. Charles in Winter

Building a just, equitable, and welcoming community

The Carroll community is enriched by the opportunities we have to learn from different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. We are committed to embracing and expanding those opportunities as a core part of the Carroll experience.

Building on our mission of welcoming all persons of good will in a cooperative journey toward truth and virtue in the ecumenical tradition of the Second Vatican Council, Carroll College is committed to a policy of open participation by members of all religious faiths and all persons of good will in the total academic and spiritual experience of the college community.

That commitment is rooted in our very identity. As a proudly Catholic, diocesan institution of higher education, we are firmly committed to the dignity of every person. Our educational foundation in the liberal arts—where multiple perspectives are key—invites diversity of thought. Finally, the multifaceted nature of our living and learning community is essential to prepare students to succeed in a multicultural world.

By listening to one another’s experiences, we can come to understand and empathize, which leads to those right relationships that unite us as brothers and sisters.
