    Introduction

    Ursuline College’s campus community includes residential students, transfer students and learners from outside Ohio, with dedicated admission information for international students. Orientation Arrows guide new students through social events, activities and sessions that support the transition to campus life. Summer advising connects students with academic advisors, faculty members, new students and current Ursuline students while introducing the core curriculum and major requirements. Academic study spans undergraduate, graduate and online programs. Nursing is a prominent area, with the college listing a 100% nursing graduate employment rate post licensure and identifying The Breen School of Nursing & Health Professions in current college news. The Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with Art Therapy concentration combines counseling education with visual and verbal expression. Students gain training in counseling and art therapy, with internship placements and service-learning opportunities in clinical, educational, medical and human service agencies. The program addresses work with individuals, groups and families from diverse backgrounds. Ursuline’s Catholic identity and history are connected to the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland, who supported the college’s partnership with Gannon University. Gannon now provides financial stewardship and operational oversight while the institutions continue to operate independently during the merger process. Academic programs, athletics, tuition and scholarship policies are expected to remain unchanged in the near term. Students may also access selected Gannon opportunities, including Alternative Break Service Trips.
