Why be at the Zambia Catholic University

Integration of Ethos in the University Curriculum

What sets us apart from other tertiary institution is the Integration of a strong ethos in the University curriculum. The University foundation courses include courses in Ethics, The Social Teachings of the Church and Information Technology. These programs are aimed at preparing professionals who possess critical thinking skills and an appreciation/ recognition of the inherent human dignity. As a University, we believe that education should prepare one to three ultimate ends; "the attainment of the common good, the acceptance of the inherent human dignity and the preservation of family values.

Holistic Education

We believe that education should be holistic, it should prepare one, not only academically, but also socially, mentally and spiritually. Throughout the time one is at our institution, these values are inculcated using both academic and extra curriculum activities. Every Sunday and Wednesday, there is Mass in the University Chapel. The University also as a vibrant Small Christian Community - Catholic Student Community (CASC) - that engages youths in evangelical work.
