The Catholic University of America will celebrate 1,357 new alumni at the 134th annual Commencement ceremony May 13. The graduates will include degrees conferred for the summer 2022 and fall 2022 semesters as well as degree candidates for the spring 2023 semester.

Today, the University includes 12 schools, all of which offer graduate and professional degrees. Ten schools — architecture and planning; arts and sciences; business; engineering; music, drama, and art; nursing; philosophy; professional studies; social service; and theology and religious studies — award undergraduate degrees. Catholic University is the nation’s only university with ecclesiastical faculties granting canonical degrees in canon law, philosophy, and theology.
