OUR UNIVERSITY
The Catholic University of New Spain is a private higher education institution based in Miami, Florida. Established by a distinguished group of scholars from around the world, the University has at its core Roman Catholic values and principles.
The University offers certificate, master’s, and doctoral programs in a wide range of fields to prepare students for religious vocations and for working as staff members at religious institutions. Our programs are delivered online through our innovative hybrid educational delivery system.
The Catholic University of New Spain has agreements with institutions in Europe, Asia, and Latin America to provide a truly global education centered on timeless Catholic values. Research is also an important part of our mission and vision.
The prestigious Central American Institute of Asia Pacific Studies with more than ten years of history has recently migrated to our faculty of Graduate Studies and continues to publish its flagship journal, the Journal of Asia Pacific Studies in cooperation with the International Academy of Social Sciences.
