The Catholic University of America

Research

Originally founded as a graduate institution, The Catholic University of America has continued its emphasis on original research. Today, it is designated doctoral-research extensive by the Carnegie Foundation. Opportunities abound for undergraduate and graduate students to participate in cutting edge research projects in every program of study.

Here at Catholic University the thirst for knowledge — not just to impart it but to discover it — is every bit as strong as at any institution of higher learning in the country. It is in our institutional genes. We were, after all, founded as a graduate research institution, a charter member of the Association of American Universities. - Very Rev. David M. O'Connell, C.M., President
