At Wheeling University, our philosophy is rooted in the Ignatian educational tradition that spans more than 450 years.  Academic excellence, a commitment to serve others and the desire to educate the whole person – these are the values that make a Catholic education unique.  The experiences our students gain through required service and career learning experiences associated with their programs of academic study prepare them for their own individual career paths. Our graduates make a difference in the world as principled professional and social leaders.
