The Catholic Distance University (CDU) was the first catechetical institute in the United States to receive official approval from the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy to offer adult education courses in the Catholic Faith and to award the Catechetical Diploma by correspondence or distance learning.
 
CDU was established in 1983 to respond to a need for life long spiritual formation and a deeper knowledge of Church Teaching. CDU's mission calls for transmitting faithfully and systematically the teachings of Sacred Scripture, the living Tradition of the Church and the authentic Magisterium, as well as the spiritual heritage of the Fathers, Doctors and Saints.
 
CDU is accredited by the Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council which is listed by the US Department of Education as the "nationally recognized accrediting agency" for distance education institutions. The Accrediting Commission is a recognized member of the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).
