Catholic universities in Texas: any recommendations?

I'm interested in exploring Catholic universities in Texas and would love some suggestions. Which ones are known for a strong sense of community or have standout academic programs?

a year ago

Texas is home to a handful of well-regarded Catholic universities that are known for their strong sense of community and academic excellence.

1. University of St. Thomas: Located in Houston, it offers a broad range of programs and is particularly known for its business and social work majors. Also, their core curriculum tends to foster a strong sense of community among students.

2. St. Edward's University: Based in Austin, it's known for its small class sizes and strong liberal arts programs. Students often highlight the sense of belonging they feel here.

3. University of Dallas: This university in Irving offers a rigorous core curriculum and has a very strong reputation for its programs in literary studies, philosophy, and theology. UD also values its Catholic identity, with a rich liturgical life and strong ties to the local community.

4. University of the Incarnate Word: This university in San Antonio is the largest Catholic university in the state. It's known for its nursing and health professions programs. Its mission of service and strong emphasis on community service projects nurture a strong sense of community among students.

5. Our Lady of the Lake University: Also in San Antonio, OLLU is especially recognized for their social work and counseling programs. It's a Hispanic-serving institution and prides itself on its nurturing, inclusive environment.

Of course, the "best" school will depend on a variety of factors, including what you're hoping to study, what size community you're hoping to be part of, and what elements of the college experience are most important to you.
