Washington, D. C. - Catholic University - McMahon Hall

Description: Washington, D. C. - Catholic University - McMahon Hall - 1913: The Catholic University of America (CUA) is a private Catholic research university in Washington, D.C. It is a pontifical university of the Catholic Church in the United States and the only institution of higher education founded by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Established in 1887 as a graduate and research center following approval by Pope Leo XIII, the university began offering undergraduate education in 1904. It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity". Its campus is adjacent to the Brookland neighborhood, known as "Little Rome", which contains 60 Catholic institutions, including Trinity Washington University, the Dominican House of Studies, and Archbishop Carroll High School, as well as the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. McMahon Hall was dedicated in 1889 by Cardinal James Gibbons of Baltimore. Since that time, McMahon has grown into one of Catholic University’s busiest and most diverse campus buildings. Bordering the central University Mall, McMahon's size and venerable architecture project its importance to the University. It is the home of the Office of the Provost, the Office of Global Strategies, the Office of Undergraduate Studies, the Office of Graduate Studies, the Honors Program, the Center for Academic and Career Success, and the Institute for Policy Research. It is also home to the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, the Department of Greek and Latin, and the Center for Medieval and Byzantine Studies. The School of Arts and Sciences also is located in McMahon Hall. It is the largest undergraduate school and offers a wide range of majors. The Center for Academic and Career Success provides dynamic advising resources for CUA students. A college education is made up of various components: classes, study abroad programs, certificates, pre-professional plans, majors, minors, schedules. Advisors can help students make informed choices and arrange the pieces of their education in a compelling way. In the foyer is a marble statue of Pope Leo XIII, who authorized the founding of Catholic University in 1887. The CUA Post Office is located on the ground floor. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1913, is in good condition, but shows some edge wear and franking on the image. W. H. Garrison, Washington, D. C..
