Founded at Seton Hall University in 1997, the Center for Catholic Studies is dedicated to fostering a dialogue between the Catholic intellectual tradition and all areas of study and contemporary culture. It co-established the new core curriculum at Seton Hall, including Signature Courses such as: "The Journey of Transformation" and "Christianity and Culture in Dialogue."

Focusing on the central role of the faculty, the Center regularly sponsors faculty development programs, including seminars, workshops and retreats. It also sponsors an undergraduate degree program in Catholic Studies, with major, minor and certificate programs, as well as foreign study opportunities.
Since the summer of 1998, the Center for Catholic Studies has sponsored faculty summer seminars. The point of these seminars is to engage the Seton Hall faculty in interdisciplinary dialogue on issues of humanistic and religious importance.
