Briar Cliff University

Out of a hill once covered in briar patches sprouted Briar Cliff University, a Catholic Franciscan institution that is home to more than 1,100 students. Since 1930,
the University has educated students in the Franciscan tradition of service, caring and openness to all. Grounded in faith and the pursuit of higher learning, the liberal arts education from Briar Cliff shapes more than just students’ résumés — it shapes their character. With over 30 undergraduate degree programs, several online degree completion programs and a host of graduate degrees, Briar Cliff supports students in all stages of higher education.
