Walsh University has been recognized as a College of Distinction for the 2024-2025 academic year. The university also received accolades for Affordability, Catholic faith, Career Development, Military Support, and its programs in Business, Education, and Nursing.

Colleges of Distinction selects institutions that provide personalized education tailored to students’ interests through a rigorous vetting and interview process. The selection is based on four overarching distinctions: Student Engagement, Teaching, Community, and Outcomes.

The university’s recognition includes categories such as Ohio Catholic institutions and specific program areas like Business, Education, and Nursing.

The Colleges of Distinction selection process involves extensive research and detailed interviews to ensure only institutions adhering to the Four Distinctions are honored.
