From the founding of Georgetown University in 1789, the tradition of Catholic universities and colleges in the USA has had a long and distinguished history. The Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities reports that there are over 200 Catholic higher education institutions in the US representing approximately 686,000 students. These include Catholic universities and colleges, Catholic universities and colleges with seminaries, and free-standing seminaries that also offer degrees for lay students.
From the oldest to the newest (Wyoming Catholic College, founded in 2007), Catholic universities and colleges aren't just for Catholics. Often based on the principle of serving everyone equally, they offer undergraduate bachelor's degrees, associate's degrees and certificates that meet the needs of a diverse student body from here and abroad. Programs include religious and theological studies, but also a range of programs you would expect at any world-class school (liberal arts, sciences, commerce, law, nursing, dental, education, fine arts, technology, etc.). Many of the USA's Catholic universities and colleges have achieved national and international attention for their teaching-based programs designed to encourage student commitment to service and social justice no matter what the major.
