Program areas at Converse University

Founded in 1889, Converse University develops adaptable leaders who are equipped with the creativity, character, knowledge and perspective to transform the world around them. Consistently top-ranked by "u.s. news and world report", Converse offers co-educational undergraduate and graduate programs. Converse students develop their unique voices through a challenging liberal arts curriculum, the daniels center for leadership and service, a century-old honor tradition, and a close-knit residential community. The University has approximately 1,347 students enrolled.
Converse University is a residential University, meaning on-campus living is a valuable experience where in and out of class learning merge. From historic charm to modern ease, Converse's residence halls offer diverse options to suit the needs and preferences of today's students. Living in a residence hall community offers students opportunities to learn about themselves and others. Each residence hall has student development staff, programming and facilities available to help each student. Converse's residential communities are more than just places to hang out when students aren't in class. They are where students feel the most at home and develop relationships with peers in a community.
