Choosing a Faithful
Catholic College or University

Top Reasons to choose one of the Newman Catholic Colleges:

  1. Faithfulness to the Church
  2. Solid Liberal Arts tradition that teaches analysis, not just facts, figures, and ideology
  3. Community of Prayer that fosters healthy relationships with peers
  4. Availability of the Sacraments, including regular Mass and Confession
  5. Focus on the "Whole Person" formed by Christ rather than by the world
