dUSt Posted October 4, 2007 Author Posted October 4, 2007 Check it. I plotted them out on a map. Looks like the northwest is lacking.

prose Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 The list you posted missed what they called those colleges. Joyfully Catholic (list here) Born from the Crisis (second list here) Fighting the Tide (third list here)

Tufsoles Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Do any of those colleges have a Masters program.

missionseeker Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 My school is on there!!!! Academically, the humanities here are great. Wonderful! The sciences... eh, it's a liberal arts school, they need some work.. the administration, well... PM me if you want more info...

Why not?[/quote] I attend St. Mary's University, and I must say... 1) Am I offended that we're not on the list? Slightly. 2) Am I surprised? Not really. I'm definitely surprised that not all of the places of higher education claiming Catholic identity were reviewed. I love the Cardinal Newman Society, but if this book is supposed to be comprehensive, I would say that it's not. If I were a parent of a Catholic student, I would pay good money for a book that reviewed all places claiming Catholic identity, not just a few. On the other hand, there are certainly non-Catholic colleges that have beautiful Catholic student organizations and opportunities for faith formation (Texas A&M for sure). I know it'd be a huge task, but I would really appreciate a comprehensive guide that included non-Catholic colleges, as well. I think perhaps listing only a few of [i]those[/i] exceptional institutions would make more sense.
CatherineM Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Mine didn't make it either - Newman U in Wichita, Kansas.
ilovechrist Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 BUMP for all those still searching for this fall...
TeresaBenedicta Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 I go to Mount St. Mary's University, if anyone wants an honest opinion of the school. It has its ups and its downs, but over-all: I love it.
ilovechrist Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 i have a friend who is hoping that our Diocese will send him there to finish his eduaction after he completes his Master's as he prepares for the priesthood. i hear nothing but great things about MSM!
CrossCuT Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 [size=1]Im going to a "Fighting the Tide" school! FUN! [/size]

I wanting to do their distance learning, which has a Masters in Theology with a specialization in Biblical Studies.

I wonder if this list considered schools without undergrad degrees.
