Why does CTU have such a strong mission orientation and cross-cultural emphasis?
A. Several of CTU’s governing religious are missionary orders that work primarily abroad and share Gospel values with other peoples, cultures, and religious traditions. Since CTU’s founding Catholic mission has profoundly influenced the curriculum and shaped the student body. It is now a distinguishing attribute of the school. In fact, CTU arguably has the strongest missiology program of any Catholic theological school in the U.S. Because of its commitment to preparing ministers for the challenges of diversity in our world, CTU has attracted a student body that is one-third international.
