Do any of those colleges have a Masters program.

Yes, if you mean Masters in Theology, then UD is the most rigorous.

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.

Mine didn't make it either - Newman U in Wichita, Kansas.

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.

James, can you tell me a little about UD's Masters in Theology program. I wanting to do their distance learning, which has a Masters in Theology with a specialization in Biblical Studies.

I'm looking into the St. Augustine Institute in Denver - it only offers two MAs; no undergrad. I wonder if this list considered schools without undergrad degrees.
