In music, sculpture and painting, literature, and architecture, the Catholic tradition has produced some of the world's greatest works of art. Students in this concentration will not only become more familiar with the great tradition, they will come to understand how the products of the religious imagination are connected with the great truths of the Faith over the various historical periods in which the Church has added to this proud heritage.

Students interested in the Catholic Culture concentration will take 15 credit hours in their concentration area and 5 elective credits in any graduate level course and/or seminar course. View a complete list of all graduate courses offered at CDU.

Before selecting a concentration, students will need to get approval from a faculty advisor. Usually, they should have completed more than half of the core curriculum before declaring a concentration. This selection process should begin with an email to Carol Ciullo at cciullo@cdu.edu who will monitor the process and counsel students throughout the program. Towards the end of their program, students should contact the graduate registrar at gradregistrar@cdu.edu to arrange for approval of a thesis proposal and supervision of the written paper by a faculty advisor.
