The Walter J. Mahoney Library is one of our main research collaboration hubs.

Stepinac emphasizes the development of students’ skills in research, analysis, evidence-based arguments, collaboration, writing, and presenting. We have numerous research databases available: EBSCO, ProQuest, Encyclopedia Britannica, and OpenEd. They include scholarly journals, newspapers, reports, working papers, dissertations, datasets, digitized historical primary sources, and ebooks.

The library also includes nearly 7,000 cataloged items including books, magazines, videos, books-on-tape, and a professional collection. There are over 25 current magazine and newspaper subscriptions. Back-issues of over 1,000 different magazines and newspapers are available electronically.  There is also an archive of school yearbooks and recorded theatrical performances.

Depending on the discipline, Stepinac uses all of the following citation guidelines: Chicago Style, APA (American Psychological Association), and MLA (Modern Language Association).

Stepinac is the only private school in the tri-state area to offer the AP CAPSTONE DIPLOMA Program. This is a research program endorsed by all university academicians. Participation gives student an additional distinction on their Stepinac diploma.
