Ursuline College is a private Catholic liberal arts institution in Pepper Pike, Ohio — a suburb 12 miles east of Cleveland — founded in 1871 by the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland, making it the first Catholic women's college in Ohio and one of the oldest Catholic colleges in the United States. The college enrolls approximately 970 students (677 undergraduates) across 30+ programs in nursing, the arts and sciences, and business. While historically a women's college, Ursuline is now technically coeducational (91% female, 9% male) while maintaining its women-focused educational mission. The nursing program is the college's most popular, awarding 130 degrees in 2023, supported by Cleveland's world-class healthcare network of Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and MetroHealth. The college is ranked #61 in Regional Universities Midwest by U.S. News. The exceptional 7:1 student-faculty ratio enables highly individualized instruction. The 112-acre wooded campus in Pepper Pike offers a residential community with proximity to Cleveland's cultural institutions, healthcare employers, and business sector. NOTE: In 2024, Ursuline College approved a strategic merger with Gannon University (Erie, PA), with full integration scheduled for December 2026. Prospective students should confirm current institutional status and program continuity directly with the institution before applying.
