Program areas at Carroll University
Instruction & academic support - services provided to support students in the classroom and support of classroom. Carroll University offers more than 95 areas of study for students to discover and explore that are housed within two colleges (college of arts and sciences and college of health sciences) and two schools (school of business and school of education and human services). We structure those with the individual goals and needs of our students in mind. Our top majors are nursing, business, exercise science, psychology, biology and physical therapy (graduate). Many of our programs offer the flexibility to double major or add minors while still graduating in four years. We also offer the opportunity to complete select majors and get started on a career sooner with our carroll3 programs. In addition, our dual degree programs make it convenient for students to earn both a bachelor's and master's degree in just five years. Carroll isn't a one-size-fits-all kind of place and recognizes that everyone is different and we're here to help each student get the most out of their academic experience. In each of our areas of study, students will gain a strong, foundational knowledge and skills that will prepare them for their future. They will enjoy small class sizes and professors who get to know them and are invested in student success. At the graduate level, Carroll offers students looking to take their expertise to the next level with accelerated, flexible programs that help them go farther, faster to reach their professional goals.
