Student reviews

Professors

Current Student

Walsh University is a small school, but I view that as its greatest asset—the professors are extremely personable and make a strong effort to help students on an individual basis. I have had a fairly easy time getting help during office hours, and it's not uncommon to find students with special research projects. Student interactions are similar, as most of them are very friendly. I was also surprised by how quickly they learned my name. A strong effort is made to plan events, but this has slowed since COVID-19.

Alumni

Walsh was so warm and inviting and really felt like a tight knit community. The new school president made it even more so! As an adult student with children and a full time job, I felt like the faculty were very accommodating with my daily professional and personal life. They still provided a very balanced and robust liberal arts experience, even online.
