Carlow University
Company Overview
Carlow University is a private, Roman Catholic, women's-centered university founded in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, on September 24, 1929, by the Sisters of Mercy from Carlow, Ireland. It was originally a women's college until 1945 when men were admitted. Originally called Mount Mercy College, the name was changed to Carlow College in April 1969. In 1978, Carlow College went where few institutions of higher education had gone - accelerated classes especially designed for working adults. In 2004, Carlow College officially became Carlow University and a year later appointed its first lay president, Dr. Mary Hines. In 2011, Carlow University was selected for the U.S. President’s Community Service Honor Roll.
