why choose cdu?

CDU was one of the first universities in the country to use online learning for spiritual development and graduate theology. Since 1983, CDU has offered online seminars and courses to thousands of adult learners, ages 18 to 91, in all parts of the world.

• CDU has more experience in delivering theology in a distance format than any other Catholic institution in the world.
• Distance education is not a sideline with CDU. It is all we do.
• CDU is the right size university to meet your needs. We have more students than you'll find in the theology departments of most major universities - and yet, because theology is all we teach, we're small enough to know each student personally.
• At CDU, all of our efforts go into designing and delivering theology courses that are authentically Catholic and are faithful to the teaching authority of the Church.
• CDU students are serious adult learners who are hungry for solid, authentic Catholic teachings.
• CDU's faculty and staff are ready to help you. Our student support services and student networking opportunities are the best you'll find anywhere.
• CDU courses are written and taught by world-renowned Catholic theologians and scripture scholars.
• At CDU distance learning doesn’t mean that you will be isolated and there is nothing impersonal about us! Our unique online campus is designed to encourage interaction with classmates and course instructors so that you have the flexibility to choose how and when you interact.
• Online courses at CDU are user-friendly and designed for all levels of computer expertise.
