As a Catholic institution, the University is committed to examination of the Catholic tradition as the basis of a continuing search for meaning in contemporary life. The 16th century Spanish architectural style of the campus buildings and the beautiful campus grounds create a pleasant atmosphere for both students and visitors. The blue dome of the Immaculata Church on campus is a San Diego landmark. USD offers a year-round calendar of concerts, art exhibitions and lectures open to the public.
