Constantly learning

It's "never say never" when it comes to higher education in John Robertson's family.

While in her 50s, his late mother, Veronica Robertson, earned a master's degree in nursing administration.

On Jan. 16, a decidedly middle-aged John Robertson of Beltzhoover was awarded a bachelor's degree in education from Carlow University. During the same winter commencement, his wife, Carolyn Robertson, received a master's degree in counseling, while the couple's daughter, Blair Robertson-Fisher, a mother of two young children, received a master's degree in education.

Mr. Robertson called Carlow "a good fit for an older adult worried about being around sharp kids." Read more

A Word from Our Director....

The history of Carlow University says that almost 80 years ago the Sisters of Mercy founded a college where the mission was to provide women with an education and an opportunity to better themselves. Today, Carlow admits both men and women, but the basic mission of providing an opportunity for higher education remains unchanged.

As an adult learner, you have multiple demands on your time, your money, and your attention. Carlow understood this 30 years ago, when we became the first institution of higher education in southwestern Pennsylvania to design programs specifically for adult learners. Today, our Weekend College (WEC) and Carlow Accelerated Program (CAP) help students of all ages fit undergraduate or graduate classes into their busy schedules and family budgets. 

Education is one of the few investments that you can make in you. It adds value to you, your career, and your family. You can’t afford not to explore your options, and find out how Carlow can provide an opportunity for you to fulfill your dreams of a better tomorrow.
