Alverno College is a four-year, independent Roman Catholic liberal arts women's college located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Chartered in 1887 as St. Joseph's Normal School, Alverno offers weekday and weekend undergraduate programs, as well as a coeducational Master of Arts program for teachers and business professionals. The Weekend College was opened in 1977 in order to serve working women in the Milwaukee area, while the first Master's program was launched in 1996.
Alverno is nationally recognized for its ability-based curriculum.[citation needed] Rather than earn grades, students receive a Satisfactory (S) or Unsatisfactory (U) for assignments and courses. No grade point is calculated. Passing or failing is dependent on meeting criteria outlined and defined by the eight abilities: Communication, Analysis, Problem Solving, Valuing, Social Interaction, Developing a Global Perspective, Effective Citizenship, and Aesthetic Engagement.
