How We Compare: Student Success & Outcomes

As a Catholic, diocesan, liberal arts college, Carroll College is committed to providing an education that prepares students for purposeful lives of leadership and service. In keeping with our mission and the expectations of the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), this section of our website offers transparent, comprehensive data on student enrollment, demographics, and success measures—presented alongside carefully selected peer institution comparisons. By sharing this information openly, we affirm our dedication to institutional effectiveness, mission fulfillment, and the principle of serving our community with integrity. The pages linked here reflect Carroll’s holistic approach to assessing our performance, contextualizing our results within broader higher education trends, and using evidence- based evaluation to strengthen our programs and services. This work directly supports NWCCU Standards 1.D.2 and 1.D.3, which emphasize the use of disaggregated, comparative data to set goals, assess achievement, and communicate results to stakeholders.
