Catholic higher education includesuniversities,colleges, and other institutions ofhigher education privately run by theCatholic Church, typically byreligious institutes. Those tied to theHoly See are specifically calledpontifical universities.

By definition,Catholic canon law states that "A Catholic school is understood to be one which is under control of the competent ecclesiastical authority or of a public ecclesiastical juridical person, or one which in a written document is acknowledged as Catholic by the ecclesiastical authority" (Can. 803). Although some schools are deemed "Catholic" because of their identity and a great number of students enrolled are Catholics, it is also stipulated in canon law that "no school, even if it is in fact Catholic, may bear the title 'Catholic school' except by the consent of the competent ecclesiastical authority" (Can. 803 §3).[1][citation needed]

TheDominican Order was "the first order instituted by the Church with an academic mission",[2] foundingstudia conventualia in everyconvent of the order, andstudia generalia at the early European universities such as theUniversity of Bologna and theUniversity of Paris. In Europe, most universities withmedieval history were founded as Catholic. Many of them were rescinded to government authorities in theModern era. Some, however, remained Catholic, while new ones were established alongside the public ones. The Catholic Church is the largest non-governmental provider of higher education in the world. Many of them are internationally competitive. According to the census of theVatican'sCongregation for Catholic Education, the total number of Catholic universities andhigher education institutions around the world is 1,358. On the other hand, theUnited States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) counts it at 1,861. The Catholic religious order with the highest number of universities around the world today is theSociety of Jesus with 114.[3]

Like other private schools, Catholic universities and colleges are generally nondenominational, in that they accept anyone regardless of religious affiliation, nationality, ethnicity, or civil status, provided the admission or enrollment requirements and legal documents are submitted, and rules and regulations are obeyed for a fruitful life oncampus. However, non-Catholics, whether Christian or not, may or may not participate in otherwise required campus activities, particularly those of a religious nature.[4]

Beyond its academic offerings, a Catholic university or college cultivates an active and engaging community that supports teamwork and creative thinking. By working with different organizations and institutions, the university strengthens its research efforts and expands its influence. It aims to develop graduates who are not only skilled in their disciplines but also socially conscious and prepared to positively impact society.
