The Catholic University of America welcomes students of all faiths, ethnicities and backgrounds and recognizes that diversity is essential to a modern experience in higher education.

William Butler Yeats said,

"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."

CUA is committed to lighting a fire for lifelong learning and from that fire lifting the lamp of lifelong faith.
 

Our Mission

It is our fundamental belief that the life of the intellect is not diminished but, rather, intensified by the light of faith: two distinct yet related avenues to discovering one Truth.

Campus Ministry

Attending college is not just about the pursuit of academic knowledge; it's about growth as a person and living in a community of your peers.
