Hey everyone, I'm on the lookout for conservative Catholic colleges. My faith is important to me and I'd love to study somewhere that aligns with my values. Do any of you guys have any recommendations or experiences you could share in this regard?
There are indeed several Catholic colleges that are known for having a more conservative leaning. One such college is Thomas Aquinas College in California. They're unique in terms of their "Great Books" curriculum. Here, students spend their time engaging with some of the most influential works across various disciplines. The college is fully committed to the teachings of the Catholic Church as well.
Another common choice is the Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio, known for its devout student body and strong core curriculum emphasizing philosophy and theology.
Lastly, you might consider Ave Maria University in Florida. Although a newer institution (founded in 2003), it has quickly made a name for itself in terms of strong Catholic identity and commitment to faith-based education.
It's important to note that while these colleges are considered conservative, each one fosters its own unique community and approach to learning. I'd recommend taking a closer look at each to see which fits best with your individual interests, academic goals, and the specific type of catholic tradition and community you seek.
