The Catholic University of America is a premier center of higher education situated at the heart of American Catholic political and cultural life. Our deepest commitment is to the full human flourishing of the students entrusted to us. For that reason, we provide a world-class education across the disciplines and for a variety of professional vocations. Equally important to our mission is the learning that takes place outside our classrooms — on our athletic fields, in our student commons, and through our campus ministry.
