You name a field. We’ve got someone there.
Christendom alumni are involved in just about every field possible. Here is a partial listing of our alumni and what they’re doing with their LIBERAL ARTS majors.
Approximately 18% of Christendom alumni have attained a graduate degree, having studied at such institutions as Notre Dame Law School, Harvard, University of Virginia, Fordham, William and Mary, The Catholic University of America, Johns Hopkins, The Angelicum, Oxford University, Washington & Lee Law, and the University of Dallas. See an extended list of Graduate schools where Christendom alumni have been accepted or attended. Interestingly, according to the 2010 US Census, only 9% of Americans over 25 have a graduate degree.
In addition to those listed below, there are over 100 alumni priests and religious, as well as 100s of stay-at-home alumni mothers who are doing great work by raising their families.
