Welcome to the Experience of a Lifetime

Students in the School of Arts and Sciences at The Catholic University of America are immersed in a dynamic environment of academic excellence that draws its defining character from the Catholic intellectual tradition and is energized by its location in Washington, D.C.

Our location in the nation's capital, a city of global consequence, gives our students a unique opportunity to engage the culture and to enter into the national dialogue about the policies and priorities that will shape our country's future. The resources available to students in this city — libraries, museums, research centers, think tanks, performance centers, sports arenas, parks, restaurants, and more — make this the perfect place to start living your best life.
