Polish Studies at the Catholic University of America

The Institution

The Catholic University of America, located in Washington, DC, was established by the American bishops as a graduate and research center for the study of "all branches of literature and science, both sacred and profane." Although no courses relating to Poland are offered by the University, each year its Columbus School of Law conducts, jointly with the Jagillonian University, an International Business and Trade Summer Law Program in Krakow. Also, a number of University's faculty have scholarly interests that impinge significatly on Poland.
