UST Named One of 21 Top Catholic Colleges
10/9/2007
 The University of St. Thomas has been named as one of 21 top Catholic colleges and universities by the Cardinal Newman Society. The listing will be published in "The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College: What to Look for and Where to Find It," which will be available, nationwide on Nov. 1.
According to Guide editor, Joseph Esposito, “The University of St. Thomas is a gem of a small university. With dynamic leadership, it continues to strengthen its already impressive Catholic identity and academic programs. We are delighted to recommend UST to parents, students and guidance counselors.”
Recommended colleges are grouped into three categories: “Joyfully Catholic,” “Born from the Crisis” and “Fighting the Tide.” UST was selected as a “Joyfully Catholic” school. The group is characterized by a Catholic identity that permeates all areas of campus life.
“Our University is committed to the dialogue of faith and reason, which our late pontiff John Paul II expressed so beautifully in his lifetime,” University of St. Thomas President Robert Ivany said. “His inspired document Ex Corde Ecclesiae is the foundation for St. Thomas and its mission to prepare leaders of faith and character.”
The Guide is the culmination of two years of research and interviews. Catholic colleges and universities are recommended based on which most faithfully live their Catholic identities and provide a quality undergraduate education. Each college profile examines the school’s history, governance, curriculum, student life and community.
Those recommended represent the top 10 percent of Catholic colleges in the U.S. based on Catholic identity and cover a wide range of institutions in terms of history, size, location and academic focus.
