The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College (also termed as The Newman Guide) is a college evaluation tool published annually by the Cardinal Newman Society to assist students in choosing a Catholic college or university. It includes a list of Catholic institutions of higher education selected for their perceived adherence to Catholic teaching.[1][2] The guide seeks to include schools which comport with the principles of Ex Corde Ecclesiae.[3]

Description

[edit]

First published in 2007, the Guide identifies a subset of the Catholic colleges in the United States, as well as colleges and universities abroad and online where, in the Society's view, "students can reasonably expect a faithful Catholic education and a campus culture that generally upholds the values taught in their homes and parishes."

The Guide claims "to show students where they can learn and grow in a genuine Catholic environment without the nonsense that has overtaken even some of the most well-known Catholic universities."[4]

The Newman Guide is published both in printed book form and online. The Guide's website includes all of the information for free.
