I am pleased to see that Gonzaga is not on that list. My sister worked long and hard, and must subject to much harassment, when she got it removed as a student.
Our youngest is beginning to look at colleges, but he wants something more along the physics/engineering lines. Are there any Catholic colleges that have programs in those disciplines? Ave Maria can't add Physics as a new major until their accreditation comes though from SACS, but so far, there's is more the academic than the technical or engineering type physics.
While its far from perfect as a Catholic university, Saint Louis University (my alma mater) has outstanding engineering programs. It's hard to say how much it is moving in the right direction, but this year the Vagina Monologues were barred according to my sources in the K of C council down there. The K of C, students for life and a handful of our other orthodox Catholic groups comprise quite a force in a strictly orthodox sub-culture. Basically, if your son can handle living amongst a diversity of "religious" views and maintain his faith, he'd be fine and would greatly benefit from the school of engineering (Parks College). Admission is fairly competitive (SLU and Fordham are roughly tied for 4th best Catholic university in most secular rankings). For what it's worth, I'm currently in a major seminary so the Jesuits must be doing a few things right!
Time to Freep these institutions. Thank you for posting the list.
I have a son and daughter in law at Gonzaga in the law school!
My sister was in the music program, graduated in 2003. She was good for Gonzaga, I don't think the toll it took on her was fair. The faculty should have stepped up more.
