Overview
With unrivaled access to the Capitol and the federal government, the Congressional and Presidential Studies Program from Catholic University of America is designed for the working professional: maximum flexibility for the student combined with a wide range of course offerings. Classes are conducted in the early evening at the Hall of States near Capitol Hill and Union Station. Small class size facilitates student interchange with each other and with the instructor.
The program provides an instructional blend of both highly respected faculty of the Department of Politics with very successful individuals who have a wealth of practical experience in their fields. All have earned doctoral degrees from distinguished American universities. The students, many of whom are already actively involved in congressional and presidential endeavors, are drawn from a wide-range of academic and experiential backgrounds which greatly enhances the learning experience. The CAPS program is semester based (Fall and Spring), and includes summer sessions.
