Academics

With seven undergraduate schools and over 80 distinct majors, we strive to educate the whole person with a strong liberal arts foundation. Because most of your classes will be small, you become an essential contributor to the dialogue in each class; your thoughts will be valued, your opinions sought.
  • Honors Program
    At Catholic University, the Honors Program provides an intellectual adventure for motivated students of outstanding academic promise who seek a rigorous and challenging learning experience.
  • AP Credit
    The undergraduate programs in all schools of the University give academic credit for Advanced Placement courses taken in high school according to select criteria.
