Welcome to Catholic Polytechnic University.
A Letter from Our President
Dear Friend,
At Catholic Polytechnic, we have removed the barriers to entry for Catholic students to receive computer science degrees.
We offer our students a state-of-the-art computer science education, fully funded.
And we offer them the best: our professors are former military officers, NASA scientists, and top professors from other universities.
How are we doing this? Initially, with generous donations from people like you.
But we are working on a corporate partnership program that would allow corporations to give Catholic Polytechnic the money that they would normally put towards employee recruitment. In exchange, we educate and polish our students to be ideal employees for these companies.
With our model, the students are not the consumers of their degrees.
The hiring companies are the consumers. And the companies should be the ones paying for it, not the students, parents, taxpayers, or government.
The end result is that everybody wins. The students graduate tuition-debt-free with hands-on learning. The corporate partners get fantastic employees who not only have computer science expertise, but a strong ethical foundation as well. And the university is financially sustainable in the long run.
At Catholic Polytechnic University, we are setting our Catholic students up for a lifetime of success. We are battling poverty to build up our church and our country. No church or country is going to thrive with members who are saddled with tuition debt. It’s teaching a man to fish instead of handing him a fish and charging him $200,000 for the fishing pole.
It all began with a need.
Ten years ago, as a Catholic mother and a phycology PhD, Dr. Jennifer Nolan dreamed of somewhere her STEM-minded children could pursue their career goals, but there was an overwhelming lack of options. The Catholic universities did not offer STEM degrees, and the STEM universities did not welcome Catholic beliefs. It seemed like there were no institutions formed upon the crossroads of faith and science.
Until there was Catholic Polytechnic.

Our Four Pillars
Science & Technology Degrees. Faithful Catholicism. American Patriotism. Academic Freedom.
Catholic Polytechnic firmly upholds the compatibility and complementarity of faith and science, and appreciation for the relationship between these is at the heart of the university culture. We seek to form students in the awe-inspiring tradition of countless Catholic scientists and engineers who have shaken the world with their discoveries. Our professors are chosen for both their STEM career excellence and devotion to Christ.
