Mission and Objectives

Our extensive research program closely collaborates with 16 internal colleges, 64 departments and 93 research centers. Their common goal is the understanding and study of those topics that have proved vital to the well being of each human being: the new frontiers of economics, bioethics, environmental recuperation, developments in the judicial fields, family dynamics, major mass phenomena, the evolution of political systems, new horizons in medicine, the technological applications of physics and mathematics, and the most recent discoveries in environmental research.
Opportunities for academic development and growth don't by any means end with the confirmation of degrees, but are rather continually enhanced through further opportunities available to alumni, already entrenched in professional careers, by keeping them in contact with the more than 42,000 enrolled Cattolica students through extra curricular and post-graduate activities.
