Hey all ~
I was just wondering if anyone can tell me the
names of some small conservative Catholic
colleges/universities most of the ones I have
looked at don’t have large fine arts departments
so if you can think of any that do have large fine
arts departments it would be great

Benedictine College....but I know they don't have a large fine arts department

*=definitely does have arts program.

Are you looking for a BFA specifically?

In addition to the qualities you've listed above, are you looking for an accredited college? A college instead of a university? A study abroad program? A particular part of the country? City vs. rural?

Magdalen College in NH has the largest fine arts department that I know of I believe Drama and Choir are a very big part of the curriculum.

Belmont Abbey near Charlotte, NC does not have a large arts department but they have a very well-known and solid theatre program.

I just saw an ad for Wyoming Catholic College on the back of one of the conservation Catholic magazines we have around here. I believe it's a very new college, and is very conservative. It's looks like it's in an absolutely beautiful area of the country! I like their motto, "Wisdom in God's Country" I see they have 2 Fine Arts programs, Art History & Music. But you may want to look yourself too, and maybe they will be adding programs since they are pretty new.

Accredited ~ yes
university ~ doesn't matter

Part of Country ~ I live in the Midwest that
would be okay but others areas would be okay too

I did some work in undergrad admissions (shameless plug), and now I do work in graduate admissions (shameless plug #2). Some "conservative" Catholic (and otherwise) colleges are not accredited by an outside organization. This information isn't usually in the information they advertize widely... you have to be a detective an look around for it. They may be authorized by a commission of higher education, but that's not the same as accreditation.

Our Lady Seat of Wisdom- seeking
Ave Maria- not accred., not seeking
Southern Catholic- seeking
Augustine Institute- seeking
Thomas Aquinas (CA)- accredited
Magdalen College- accredited
John Paul the Great Catholic University- seeking
