Founded in 1886

John Carroll University opened its doors as Saint Ignatius College on
September 6, 1888. Originally located on Cleveland's West Side, the
College was founded at the request of Bishop Richard Gilmour by
German members of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits, founded in
1540). In 1923,the College was renamed John Carroll University
after America's first bishop. In 1925, the University acquired land in
Idlewood Village (now University Heights) and initiated construction
of a new campus in 1931. Classes began there in 1935 with 456
students. The institution admitted laywomen to evening and graduate
classes in the 1930s and officially became coeducational in 1968.
The University's Jesuit Catholic mission inspires individuals to excel
in learning, leadership, and service, both regionally and worldwide.
John Carroll University is one of 28 Jesuit institutions of higher
learning in the United States.
