| | Description | When Pope John Paul II issued Ex Corde Ecclesiae in 1990, he called for Catholic colleges and universities to renew their commitments to the doctrinal teachings and intellectual traditions of the Church. The response has been slow, leaving many Catholic families bewildered as to where to find the best of Catholic education. There are in fact a number of fine Catholic institutions of higher education in America-if one knows where, and how, to look for them. The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College is the first college guide 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. It includes detailed profiles of more than twenty schools, essential data on each institution, and practical advice from eminent Catholic thinkers, including Fr. Benedict Groeschel, Fr. C. John McCloskey and Peter Kreeft, on how to approach the college decision process. It also tells prospective pupils where to look to find an array of unique and specialized programs. Based on extensive research and interviews conducted with complete fidelity to the heart of the Church, and with a contribution from Archbishop Curtiss, The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College is an indispensable volume for anyone wishing to pursue a Catholic college education today.

For people who take choosing a college seriously - here's the info you've been looking for. Jul 25, 2008
By James R. Bertrand
"Let's be saints!"
Fr. Kenneth Baker, Editor of Homiletic and Pastoral Review magazine said this about The Newman Guide - "This book is good news for parents who want to send their children to a Catholic college that is truly Catholic. I recommend the book highly for priests and counselors who deal with high school graduates who are looking for a Catholic college." I read the entire book and found it to be a straight-shooting, candid look at what goes on in truly authentic Catholic schools. It is refreshing! We sent our daughter to one of those 21 colleges it recommends. Her Catholic faith has been nurtured there and she has grown intellectually as well. I couldn't be happier with the "consistency" between - what she learned at home - what is reinforced at this Catholic College (Benedictine in Atchison, KS) - what The Newman Guide said about this college I liked the book so much I bought a 2nd copy and donated it to our local Catholic high school, where it is visible in the counselor's office. For anyone who takes choosing a Catholic college seriously(and wants the inside scoop) this is a most valuable book.

Great aid in college search Aug 09, 2008
By bgarland This book is a wonderful tool for anyone interested in going to a Catholic college. It thoroughly explains the role and responsibility of Catholic colleges in our society and also the importance of philosophy and theology as part of a college curriculum.
This Guide introduces 21 very different institutions from across the country (and even one in Canada) that represent the best of Catholic higher education, each in their own ways. I read this book from cover to cover, and now I have a much better idea of what I want to get out of my own college experience.
The book is geared more towards parents than students, but it is a great aid for anyone who is interested in Catholic higher education.
I only wish the Newman Society would compile a database of reviews covering all U.S. Catholic colleges and universities in order to better inform us about those colleges that didn't make the cut.

Addresses a major need, but incompletely. Dec 07, 2007
By Happy in NC This catalog is badly needed, and worthwhile. However, it's usefulness is limited by its incompleteness. Clearly, there is a need for "evaluations" of many other Catholic institutions!

the Truth about Catholic Colleges Apr 27, 2008
By S. Laux
"Youth for Life"
Most colleges are places who's goal through their environment and teaching is to make young people question their faith til they lose it. They do not need this at this time in their life. If nothing is more important to you than your soul go to one of these 21 colleges. There is a good Catholic college for every type of student. The book explains all aspects of the schools it lists.

Embracing the Catholic lifestyle.... Feb 17, 2008
By M. Greene
"Finally Home"
Anyone looking for colleges that wholeheartedly embrace the maturity, beauty, meaningfulness, incomparable treasure of living the Catholic faith, must consult this book. Mom and Dad, Your children may lose their Faith in these schools, but it will take a lot of work on the part of the Devil to accomplish it.
