Walsh University is a private Catholic university in North Canton, Ohio, United States. Founded in 1960 by the Brothers of Christian Instruction as a liberal arts college, it enrolls approximately 2,100 students as of 2023. The university offers more than 70 undergraduate majors and seven graduate programs, as well as multiple global learning experiences.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 62% graduation rate and 73% freshman retention suggest a meaningful share of students don't finish, which is worth asking about directly. On the positive side, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $20,000, and the average net price of about $20,000/year makes this one of the more affordable private Catholic college options in Ohio. Worth considering if you're drawn to small classes (under 1,300 undergrads) and a faith-based environment, but come in with a clear plan — students who drift here tend to leave.
