Catholic University of America


The Catholic University of America (CUA) is a private university located in Washington, D.C. in the United States. It is a pontifical university of the Catholic Church in the United States and the only institution of higher education founded by the U.S. 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. The university's campus lies within the Brookland neighborhood, known as "Little Rome", which contains 60 Catholic institutions, including Trinity Washington University and the Dominican House of Studies.
It has been ranked as one of the nation's best colleges by the ''Princeton Review,''〔 one of the best values of any private school in the country by ''Kiplinger's,''〔 "one of the most eco-friendly universities in the country,"〔 was awarded the "highest federal recognition an institution can receive" for community service,〔 and has been recommended by the Cardinal Newman Society in ''The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College.''〔 It was described as one of the 25 most underrated colleges in the United States.〔〔
CUA's programs emphasize the liberal arts, professional education, and personal development. 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 has a long history of working with the Knights of Columbus; the university's law school and basilica have dedications to the involvement and support of the Knights.
The university has been visited three times by sitting popes. Pope John Paul II visited on October 7, 1979.〔 On April 16, 2008, Pope Benedict XVI gave an address at the campus about Catholic education and academic freedom.〔〔 Pope Francis visited on September 23, 2015 during his trip to the United States, where he celebrated Mass on the east portico of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.〔 This event cost the school a four million dollars with the Vatican matching CUA spending.
