JP Catholic University currently offers two Bachelor of Science degree programs and with its
year round structure
students finish their degree program in 3 years.
Curriculum Focused on Creativity, Innovation, Leadership and Entrepreneurship
 While graduating JP Catholic students are expected to
embark on careers in many different fields, the degree programs focuses on developing within the students the core skills of creativity and innovation,
leadership and entrepreneurship. JP Catholic's practical courses equip the students with skills ranging from screenwriting to starting their own businesses,
from film production to business marketing.
Students, during their junior and senior years, form self-selected teams (with
four to six members) and immerse themselves in a significant business planning
and implementation exercise called the senior business plan.
The project brings together students with similar passions and diverse talent to create a "real world" business,
mentored by experienced faculty, and guided by Catholic ethical, moral and social principles.
The student created start-up enterprises may range from a high-tech animation company to an advertising video production company to a
specialty internet based publishing firm.
JP Catholic expects that 50 percent of all graduating students
will continue with their "senior business plan" company after graduation.
Faith Curriculum
Each student takes a prescribed set of Catholic faith oriented courses
that provides a solid understanding of the teachings of Jesus Christ as
revealed in the Gospels. These classes include a study of:
the four Gospels, theology, philosophy, ethics, the moral and social teachings of the Catholic Church, as well as the writings of the
great intellectuals and moral writers of western civilization.
Students are strongly encouraged to practice living the Gospel by performing family, community, and workplace-based service projects.
Future Programs
JP Catholic University plans to offer additional degree programs and areas of emphasis after it has completed WASC accreditation.
