“Knowing what I believe and what the basis of those teachings and beliefs is has helped me immensely. I work full time and absolutely needed the asynchronous format where I could work on the courses when I had time during the day, weeks or months, etc. I could not fit a traditional face-to-face course format into my schedule.”–Dr. Angelo Giardino, MA in Theology Student
“CDU met all of my expectations. I was able to work, be with my family, and study theology at a pace that was comfortable…I was so excited to be learning about God and His Church. It was very contemplative, and I believe this allowed quiet time for God to impact me intellectually. It also allowed God to work on my heart.” —John Williams, BA in Theology Student
“I feel that God is calling me to the religious life, and I’m pursuing my AA while discerning various Franciscan orders. CDU provides its students with the unique opportunity of pursuing a degree that is solidly and passionately Catholic while living at home… I would highly recommend CDU to anyone who wants to pursue a top-notch education that offers flexibility and is challenging and faithful to Catholic teaching.”–Steven Resuta, AA in the Liberal Arts Student
