Celebrating 25 years in 2019, at the Donald S. Nesti, CSSp Center for Faith and Culture, our primary educational tool is dialogue. We discuss and debate the hard questions of life and issues we face in today's world.

As we strive to live and work together for the common good in society, we bring the Catholic voice to this ongoing conversation, while actively listening and valuing the voices of others.

You’re welcome here regardless of how you define “faith” or the extent to which you believe. You don’t need to be Catholic. In fact, you don’t need to subscribe to any particular faith. Come as you are!

Our Mission Statement

Regardless of your profession or religion, this degree would be valuable if you’re motivated by a quest and search for:

• meaning and purpose of life
• self-purpose and development

Students in the program have said that you can’t base the program on the question “What are you going to do with it? Instead, your mindset should be “What do I plan to be with it?”

The approach is not theoretical. It’s applied. We want to arm you with the tools to not just engage and ask questions, but actually live out those hard questions.

For example:

A lawyer might find this degree improves certain “soft skills” like dialogue which helps them relate better to their clients. It might help clarify the decision-making process so they come from a place of integrity and virtue when representing their clients. And ultimately, it might help them be true to themselves and their faith in all the choices they make, personally and professionally.

You can take classes at your own pace, and earn your degree in as little as 2 years.
