Experiential learning is a significant focus in the College, with approximately 90% of the College’s students gaining exposure to their fields of interest through internships, clinical experiences, study abroad opportunities, student teaching, and more. The College has 69 full-time faculty and 11 staff across five departments: Communication Sciences and Disorders; Education, Counseling, and Leadership; Family and Consumer Sciences; Nursing; and Physical Therapy and Health Science.
Located in the historic West Bluff neighborhood, Bradley University is a mid-sized, private University in Peoria, Illinois, which offers students the opportunities and resources of a larger university and the personal attention and exceptional learning experiences of a smaller university.
