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's ability-based, assessment-as-learning approach to education earns national and international recognition. Educators from throughout the world visit Alverno to learn about its unique, student-centered teaching methods. The Alverno environment enables students to become actively involved in their education through hands-on practical learning, and they are able to track their learning through Alverno's patented diagnostic digital portfolio (DDP). The DDP, a first-of-its-kind Web-based system, helps students process the feedback they receive from faculty, external assessors and peers. Alverno offers more than 60 program areas of study, including licensure and master's programs.
