(Transfer applicants should submit the Catholic University Transfer Application. Summer Session applicants, see below.)

  • Adult and Professional Studies

    Catholic University offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs for the working professional.

  • Summer Sessions

    Enrollment in Summer Session courses is open to undergraduate and graduate students from other colleges and universities. An application is required. Current Catholic University students do not need to fill out an application. They can register for courses directly through Cardinal Station.
