Awesome professors, especially the Theology & Philosophy claases. I am thankful for all the friendships and connections made when I attended.

Thinking about attending the university, and though not open on Sunday, I still enjoyed looking in the window at their costumes and movie displays. I appreciated the quote by St. Carlo Acutis, under his mural, regarding the use of social media to promote Christ. The quote fits the university and speaks to its mission.

Do not waste your time or money. This school does not guide the students if there are challenges academically. If you fail, they kick you out of school. No help. No coaching. No warning. Without hesitation, this school will take your money and leave you to the wolves. The professors lack motivation and professionalism. The office is misleading in regards to the religion and diversity being practiced here. The community within this school is very unwelcoming with non catholics. I would never recommend this school to anyone. Please be advised.

I graduated back in 2015, with a Bachelor of Science Communication Media degree with an emphasis in the New Evangelization. The New Evangelization program is one of the best programs offered at JP Catholic University. During my time here, I received an extensive amount of Theology, Philosophy, and Biblical studies, all while learning the practical skills of media communication, marketing, business, film production, and editing software. This particular program is designed for people who are specifically interested in serving the Church via ministry work with not only theoretical knowledge but also practical creative knowledge. If you have a heart for Ministry work, and have a deep love for the New Evangelization, i.e., using new methods of expression to share the Gospel to your average modern man of today, than this is the school for you! JP Catholic allowed me to merge my two greatest passions together, being a creative and being a catechist of the faith. I truly enjoyed my time at JP Catholic, would not have wanted it any other way. My time at JPCU helped me grow both professionally and spiritually. The school is very small, it is located in a small town in Escondido, CA. The su

I would not be who I am today without this University. The school is very small, about 220 when I was there. That being said, the student teacher relationship is amazing. The classes are small and intimate and allow for incredible focus and assistance. It's really a very personal experience. The education is well rounded and the philosophy and theology is incredibly helpful. It has helped me define who I am, what I believe, and most importantly why I believe it. I originally came to the University to study film but after two or so years, I ended up feeling very disgruntled with myself and where I saw my life going. It was not the University's fault at all, in fact, the school helped redeem the situation by allowing me to add some custom elements to my degree and focusing in on something I profoundly enjoy. The faculty here is incredible and most of the film professors commute from L.A. once a week just to teach. The film students get access to great equipment compared to some other film schools. It's not the very top of the line, but it's certainly not terrible equipment. There are also many film-making opportunities for the students in the area and internships in L.A. to help th
