Mission
 The purpose of the Catholic Studies Program is to "hand over" the fullness of the truth of the Catholic heritage to a new generation through tradition-guided inquiry and so actualize the mission of the University of St. Thomas.
Founded in 1947 to serve the Church and society at large, the University of St. Thomas carries out its teaching, research, and other activities in the light of Catholic ideals, principles and attitudes. The University of St. Thomas is dedicated to the cause of truth and fosters the integration of knowledge, the dialogue between faith and culture, the ethical and moral implications of learning and the unique orientation to all study given by theology. |
Admission
The Catholic Studies Program offers every student of the University the possibility of another "lens" through which to view his/her professional field of study. |
Professional Preparation
 A degree in Catholic Studies provides professionals in a global culture with the necessary resources to "renew the whole temporal order," by incorporating the Catholic intellectual tradition into education, medicine, law, the social and natural sciences, international studies, communications, business, modern languages, the arts, or the humanities.
