Noncredit online seminars
CDUs online seminars offer faithfully Catholic teachings on contemporary topics in a flexible three-week format. Classes meet asynchronously, which means 'not at the same time', so students choose the day and time that is most convenient for them to log into their courserooms. Students can access reading assignments, weekly questions, group discussion, and chapel mediations with a user-friendly format that is supported with a help desk for questions.
