Student Life & Community

• "3+3" Dual-Degree Law Program Agreements with University of Montana and Gonzaga University:
• -This opportunity allows students to attend Carroll College for three years and then matriculate to the UM or Gonzaga law schools to complete their three-year law degree. This enables students to earn both a baccalaureate degree and Juris Doctorate in six years rather than the typical seven years.
• Continued partnerships with W.M. Keck Observatory (home of the world's largest telescope) on the Big Island of Hawaii. Carroll is the only undergraduate institution in the nation to have a post-graduate paid fellowship with the Keck Observatory.
• Nursing continues to be one of our top programs with our Nursing Simulation Center containing three labs and one observation room, where students learn real-world application of classroom lessons in a safe, realistic healthcare setting. In addition to our Direct Entry pathway for first year students looking to earn a bachelor degree, we also offer a post-baccalaureate accelerated nursing program.
• Perkins-Call Canine Center includes space on campus for our Anthrozoology students to practice canine training techniques, attend class, and conduct research.
• We offer a Master of Social Work program, our only current graduate program. We will be starting a PA program on campus starting the Fall of 2026.
