| Mission | |
| School mission: | Alverno College, a four-year independent, Catholic, liberal arts college for women, exists to promote the personal and professional development of its students. The college has earned accolades and respect internationally for its highly effective ability-based, assessment-as-learning approach to education, and has consulted with three U.S. presidential administrations on accountability and outcomes in higher education. Educators from throughout the world visit Alverno to learn about its proven, student-centered teaching methods. The Alverno environment actively engages students in their education through hands-on practical learning and a highly developed off-campus internship program inherent to the curriculum, and provides students professional support in their educational endeavors uncommon for mid-size liberal arts colleges - including a professional advising office and a fully staffed career education center. Alverno College also employs the Diagnostic Digital Portfolio, an Alverno-patented, first-of-its-kind Web-based system which helps students process the feedback they receive from faculty, external assessors and peers. Alverno offers more than 35 major program areas of study, including graduate programs in education, nursing and business that are open to women and men.
