Our Diverse Community

A Community that Shines with Diversity

Our campus community has something for everyone — and we believe in the strength of that diversity in all aspects at ��ɫ��. Whether its our geographic and cultural representation, a full assortment of academic programs ranging from STEM through the arts, a variety of student groups and competitive athletics, or our deep commitment to faith and service, you’ll find yourself surrounded here by a unique and enriching mix of fellow Cardinals.

��ɫ�� University has students attending from all 50 U.S. states and 84 foreign countries. Our main campus location in Washington, D.C., and many international study abroad programs, creates even more opportunities for a variety of engagement and culture.

Our learning experiences expand well beyond the classroom. Here, a philosophy class enjoys being in a courtyard in the spring air.

With the goal of "building for good," the School of Architecture & Planning courses are dedicated to the professional education of those who will design, build, and conserve the built environment.

With more than 25 varsity teams, there is something for everyone! From Landmark Champions to intramural activities, we love our collegiate athletes.

A large part of campus life is the space for the sacred that is offered with daily Mass, sacraments, Campus Ministry activities, and opportunities for individual prayer.

There is a wide range of clubs and activities on campus, helping students cultivate connections, discover their potential, and create a sense of belonging at ��ɫ�� University. The Gaels Irish dancing team is one example of a group that celebrates Irish culture both within the University and in the larger community.

The Center for Cultural Engagement is a welcoming place for all, especially first-generation students. The Day of the Dead is a big Mexican feast-day that CCE celebrates on campus with the Hispanic community.

The end of the school year is time to celebrate, Cardinalpalooza-style! Fellow Cardinals gather on the green to relax and take a break from studies and final exams before the end of the year.

In a place known for both its rich liberal arts tradition and its culture of discovery and innovation, ��ɫ�� University students explore the material, intellectual, and spiritual.
