Welcome! It is my pleasure to talk to you about our new Office of Global Strategies at The Catholic University of America. We are located in one of the most vibrant and international cities in the world, Washington DC.

Catholic University is the flagship Catholic educational institution in the United States and a leading research institution (Carnegie Foundation classification R2: Doctoral University - Higher research activity).  We are home to hundreds of international students and scholars from all over the world and foster a culture of collaboration.

Catholic University has reciprocal exchange agreements with universities throughout the world. We encourage our students to spend time abroad and become global citizens. We welcome foreign nationals to be part of our community and embrace their culture and diversity. We house a Center in Rome and offer dozens of other opportunities for our undergrads to spend time abroad. Through the Intensive English Program we welcome students who need the support of further training in English.

This is a vibrant time for Catholic University and I encourage you to learn more about our global strategies. I look forward to hearing from you!
