Designing Technology

with Purpose

Lead the Future with Humanity, Faith, and Innovation.

In a world increasingly driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies, many programs focus solely on technical innovation. But who considers the humanity behind these advancements? Will they serve the common good? Will they avoid harm—both intentional and unintentional?

At Catholic International University, we approach technology through the Heart of the Church. Our new Emerging Technology Program extends our mission into the technical realm, integrating faith, ethics, and innovation to ensure these advancements uplift humanity and reflect the greater good.

Differentiate Yourself as

a leader

St. Thomas Aquinas beautifully illustrated the harmony between faith and reason, a relationship central to Catholic education. Pope John Paul II’s encyclical Ex Corde Ecclesiae calls universities to recognize that every field of study, no matter how technical or diverse, is united by the same Truth.

At Catholic International University, we invite you to explore our new

Master of Science in Prudential Design of Emerging Technologies 

This groundbreaking program places you at the intersection of AI application development and ethics.

Differentiate yourself as a leader who not only advances technology but ensures it serves the common good. 

Make a positive difference in our world.

“At Catholic International University, we are committed to advancing technology in a way that prioritizes the dignity and well-being of every person,” said Dr. Michael Pencina, Board of Trustee Member at Catholic International University and Chief Data Scientist at Duke Health. “Our Master of Science in Prudential Design of Emerging Technologies exemplifies our mission to ensure that new technologies, including artificial intelligence, serve the common good. We are shaping a future where technology advances and uplifts humanity by equipping graduates with the tools to integrate human-centered principles into applications of artificial intelligence.”
