Catholic University of America

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The Catholic University of America (CUA), located in Northeast Washington, D.C., is the national university of the Roman Catholic Church and the only higher education institution founded by U.S. Roman Catholic bishops. Established in 1887 as a graduate and research center following approval by Pope Leo XIII on Easter Sunday, the university began offering undergraduate education in 1904.

CUA's programs emphasize the liberal arts, professional education, and personal development. In areas besides academics, the school stays closely connected with the Catholic Church and Catholic organizations. The American Cardinals Dinner is put on by the residential U.S. Cardinals each year to raise scholarship funds for CUA. The university also has a long history of working with the Knights of Columbus, and the university's law school and the university's basilica have dedications to the involvement and support of the Knights of Columbus.

The university's campus lies within the Brookland neighborhood, known as "Little Rome", that contains 60 Catholic institutions, such as the academic institutions of Dominican House of Studies and Trinity Washington University.

The university has been visited twice by reigning Popes. Pope John Paul II visited on October 7, 1979. On November 12, 2007, it was announced that Pope Benedict XVI would visit the campus on his visit to the United States in 2008. On April 17, 2008, the Pope came to campus after celebrating the Eucharist in the Washington Nationals stadium and addressed representatives of Catholic education gathered in the Pryzbyla Center from throughout the country. The Pope used the opportunity to revisit the topic of Catholic education and academic freedom, which the university had been involved with years earlier.

Question: Can u give me ur opinion on Catholic University of America. ?

Is it prestigious? A good school to study Law? Nice Campus? etc.
15 months ago

Best Answer

It is a very solid well respected Catholic university. It is not as prestigious as tier 1 Catholic colleges like Notre Dame, Holy Cross, Georgetown or Boston College but it is in the next tier of Catholic colleges like Fordham, Villanova, Providence, and Stonehill. The campus is quite nice but not in the greatest area of DC. The law school is very good.

Question: Catholic University of America?

OK so I think this is a stupid question but I cant find the answer anywhere.I am interested in Catholic University of America but will the students and the faculty be a little racist towards someone who is not Catholic. Is the school predominately catholic? OK so maybe racist was not the correct term to use. I mean I hope the school doesn't teach catholic values because I am considering it . In other words do they constantly preach Catholicism to their student, even if they are not catholic?

Catholicism isn't a race, it is a Christian denomination. Let's see the very name is THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA, so where do you think their main demographic would be? It is an excellent school.

The Brookland neighrborhood around Catholic U. has changed a lot for the better in recent years. Its still the city, but got stand-alone houses with yards & porches. This makes it a bit unique for Northeast DC. Also, there's a new Target, Best Buy, Marshalls etc. in Columbia Hts, which isn't too far by car. $650 for rent is reasonable, yes, and you won't find anything that cheap on capitol hill or elsewhere. Better see the place though to be sure its what you're needing. The Brookland Metro stop will get you downtown in about 15 minutes. Just stay on red line to Farragut West and walk to the White House area about 5 minutes away.
