Mission Statement: Brescia University is a coeducational Catholic institution founded by the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph. The University offers certificates, associate's, baccalaureate and master's degrees through semester and time-shortened programs of higher education in the Ursuline tradition. Brescia emphasizes the liberal arts and prepares its traditional and non-traditional students for successful careers and for service to others. Brescia is known for the "Brescia Difference" embodied in four core elements: respect for the sacred, devotion to learning, dedication to growth in virtue, and promotion of servant leadership.
