Welcome to The Catholic University of America!  We are so pleased that you chose to further your education here.

The Office of Graduate Admission invites all incoming graduate students to participate in our Spring Online New Graduate Student Orientation. This event is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the resources available to you and the ways in which you can prepare for academic, personal and professional success in your graduate studies.

In addition to this event, the University offers an online orientation guide  to help ease your transition to graduate studies. I encourage you to reference this guide throughout the year when questions arise. Other excellent resources for you include the Graduate Studies website where a FAQ for both new and returning students is available.

New beginnings are both exciting and challenging. Catholic University’s orientation programs will help you enjoy this new beginning and provide a solid start in your first semester.

Our staff is here to assist you in your Catholic University experience. Please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Graduate Admission at 202-329-5057 | cua-gradadmissions@cua.edu or the Office of Graduate Studies at 202-319-5247 | cua-graduatestudies@cua.edu. Our number one priority is to make your experience at Catholic University a powerful and enriching one.

Congratulations again and thank you for choosing The Catholic University of America!

Warm regards,
Mary Ellen Mahoney
