College of Professional Sciences


The College of Professional Sciences brings together a diverse range of disciplines united by a shared mission: changing human lives for the better. We prepare students to lead, serve, and innovate in their professions through transformative learning experiences. Experiential learning is at the heart of our approach, with high-impact practices such as field placements, internships, clinical experiences, capstones, research experiences, and global learning opportunities. These experiences empower our graduates to excel in their fields and address the challenges of a diverse and evolving world.

Our faculty blend scholarship, teaching, and professional practice to provide a robust intellectual foundation that fosters critical thinking, ethical decision-making, and cultural understanding. In addition to serving students, we are deeply engaged with the community through initiatives like the Center for Population Health, which addresses health equity, and the Centers for Education, which provides professional development to Catholic, public and private schools throughout the region. Rooted in Xavier’s Jesuit Catholic values and a commitment to inclusivity, CPS continues to grow intentionally, offering innovative programs that empower students to transform lives and make a meaningful impact.
