Ronald Bratt Debate Coach Catholic University of America CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA Born of a dream shared by the Roman Catholic bishops of the United States, The Catholic University of America was founded as a graduate and research center in 1887, with the approval of Pope Leo XIII. The university began offering undergraduate programs in 1904. A founding member of the Association of American Universities, CUA is a private, co-educational institution. Six of the university's 10 schools offer undergraduate and graduate study opportunities. They are: Philosophy, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Nursing, Music, and Architecture and Planning. The university is located on a quiet, tree-lined campus in residential Northeast Washington, D.C. CUA is easily accessible to Capitol Hill and nearby Virginia and Maryland locations by public transportation. The location in the nation's capital provides students with limitless learning opportunities. Located in our nation's capital, CUA provides a solid academic foundation for careers, aliberal arts curriculum, distinguished faculty, the chance to develop individual talents and the freedom to explore ideas. All this is set in a picturesque environment that encourages learning. Catholic University students have access to some of the world's finest research facilities. In addition to the Library of Congress and the U.S. government, Washington is home to the Smithsonian Institution and is a center for the arts and political action. CUA is minutes from Capitol Hill. Washington is a laboratory for testing and expanding career goals. CUA students serve as interns in congressional offices, executive agencies, professional organizations, lobbying groups and research institutes. Students hear lectures by nationally known historians, journalists and scholars and observe Supreme Court arguments. In addition, the performing arts offer a flavor of culture at first-rate theaters and concert halls, such as the Warner, National, Ford's, DAR Constitution Hall, the Shakespeare and the Kennedy Center. CUA offers internships that introduce students to the professional world, provides information about career choices and adds valuable credentials to resumes. The Catholic University of America is a community of scholars, both faculty and students, set apart to discover, preserve, and impart the truth in all its form, with particular reference to the needs and opportunities of the nation. As a university, it is essentially a free and autonomous center of study and an agency serving the needs of human society. It welcomes the collaboration of all scholars of good will who, through the process of study and reflection, contribute to these aims in an atmosphere of academic competence where freedom is fostered and where the only constraint upon truth is truth itself. The Admissions Committee searches for well rounded students who excel in academic and extracurricular fields. Prospective CUA students should flourish not only in the classroom, but in their community as well. That is why we evaluate and emphasize a student's curriculum, Standardized Test Scores, and recommendations as much as their leadership skills, contributions to community life, talent, and demonstrated growth and maturity.
