College for my kids is ten years away, but right now I'm considering only Thomas More and Magdalene. There are a handful of other good ones, but these are closest to where we live.
"The startup institutions," he says, "have all aligned themselves [with] what they'd term fidelity to the magisterium [teachings] of the Catholic Church."
Anyhow... don't both Magdalene and Thomas More offer only a liberal arts program/degree? Which is great (the courses are fantastic) but if you want something specialized like teaching or nursing (chicks), then they have to go on for a master's somewhere else (probably secular). I think I read that Ave Maria in Naples will be offering various degrees/programs very soon - but all of them will have a substantial classes in theology and philosophy, etc.
I just became a $10 dollar a month charter member of Ave Maria... these (now) small Catholic colleges are the hope for the future. The other day I was looking at the website of Stuebenville and so many of the kids marry classmates and stay in touch with letters and pics - it seems like the grads think of one another as family.
I have an aunt whose son is going to Steubenville in Ohio, if I remember correctly, and I know that earlier on, she was looking for conservative colleges. You might want to consider that one.
