private
Roman Catholic
graduate school of
theology in
Chicago, Illinois . It is one of the largest Catholic graduate schools of theology in the English speaking world and trains men and women for lay and ordained ministry within the
Catholic Church .
[5] It was founded in 1968, when three
religious institutes united their separate theology programs to form one school. The institution has since gained the sponsorship of twenty-four religious communities. CTU is run and staffed by religious and lay men and women. International students constitute nearly one third of the student body.
