The CDA is unique among universities in the United States - even among Catholic universities. It is because we were specifically founded by the Catholic bishops of the United States, with a charter from then Pope Leo XIII, to be the national university of the Catholic Church in America. At a Glance Home to 12 schools and 21 research facilities, the University embraces the entire scope of the Catholic intellectual tradition.
