Design a Sabbatical
The Independent Sabbatical is an individually designed educational and cultural experience providing you with an array of opportunities. While residing at CTU, you create your own schedule; take part in courses and programs at Catholic Theological Union; attend lectures and workshops at the four Hyde Park theological schools, Loyola University, Northwestern University, and many other Chicago institutions of higher learning; explore the countless cultural resources of Chicago; and worship and pray in the global community of faith at CTU.
