Its distinguished Catholic faculty also includes scholars from the Protestant, Jewish, and Muslim traditions. And over the years, CTU's programs have expanded to address the intercultural needs of the Church in an increasingly global society.CTU alums now number over 4,000, serving the Church across the United States and in 60 countries worldwide. They work in parishes, homeless shelters, prisons, hospitals, schools, colleges and universities, gang ministry, hospices, social service organizations, and a myriad of other ministry settings.CTU is also home to The Bernardin Center for Theology and Ministry, where the ideas and spirituality of Joseph Cardinal Bernardin flourish through scholarships, seminars, lectures, and a full array of programs which focus on Cardinal Bernardin's signature issues.
