Catholic Theological Union
Catholic Theological Union (CTU) is a 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. 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 men, religious sisters, and lay men and women. International students constitute nearly one third of the student body.
