Catholic Studies Program
The Catholic tradition has long been interested in discovering how all of reality fits together. Recognizing that we exist within an epic drama initiated by God’s act of creation, the Catholic tradition is willing to explore all questions and academic disciplines. For this reason, our Catholic studies program explores theology, philosophy, literature, art, culture, and history side-by-side to plumb the depths of human existence and God’s plan for salvation.
Because it is concerned with exploring the Catholic vision of the world and discovering how all things are connected, Catholic studies naturally complements and pairs with all academic disciplines and professions. No matter what a student’s academic major is, Catholic studies will enliven his or her experience and shed new light on the most exciting questions of human existence.
Mary College at ASU is an experience I will never forget. There were so many opportunities both with Mary College and ASU, and the relationships I made here were supportive and substantial.”
