let cdu support your diocese in its mission of lifelong learning in the faith

Providing opportunities for members of your diocese to learn more about the Catholic faith is a challenge. Constraints such as geography, staffing, time, and money often get in the way of providing a systemic program of study for lay volunteers, parents, catechists, Catholic schoolteachers, and parishioners. CDU can help your diocese meet this ever-growing challenge with our online courses, seminars and degree programs.

Diocesan Subsidy Plans
These plans offer a cost-effective way for your diocese to provide high quality online programs in adult faith formation delivered in a convenient , flexible, and adult-friendly format. CDU handles all the details of student enrollment, so your diocesan staff won't be answering questions or processing paperwork.

Academic Programs
CDU can provide degree programs for DREs, youth ministers, and parish staff in undergraduate and graduate level theology. The university also offers the Catechetical Diploma for those seeking an in-depth program in religious education studies. Learn more

Certificate Programs
Let CDU work with your diocesan director of religious education to create a catechist certification program. If programs already exist, then consider CDU’s online courses and seminars to supplement your programs. We can tailor a certificate program to meet the needs of your diocese and provide a unique web page with information about CDU’s programs along with direct links to the CDU enrollment process.
