Bradley University
Bradley University, an independent, privately endowed, coeducational institution, was founded in 1897 as Bradley Polytechnic Institute by Lydia Moss Bradley as a memorial to her children and husband, Tobias. It became a four-year college in 1920 and in 1946 became a university and began offering graduate programs. Bradley’s highest priority is excellent teaching supported by research, scholarship, and creative activities.

Bradley’s full-time faculty number more than 300. As teachers and scholars, many are national authorities in their fields. The average class contains fewer than 23 students. The nationally-recognized Smith Career

and conduct campus interviews. The overall placement rate for 2006-07 Bradley University graduates is 96 percent.
