Best Catholic Colleges for Engineering Recommendations?

I'm considering attending a Catholic college for my engineering degree. Does anyone have suggestions for top Catholic colleges with strong engineering programs? Any personal experiences would be super helpful!

Many Catholic universities across the United States have strong engineering programs. Here are some:

1. University of Notre Dame: Ranked among the top 20 engineering schools in the country, Notre Dame's engineering programs are well-established and highly recognized. They offer degrees in several disciplines of engineering, including electrical, mechanical, and civil.

2. Villanova University: The College of Engineering is quite reputed at Villanova. It offers degrees in mechanical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, chemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, and more.

3. Marquette University: Marquette's College of Engineering provides an education that’s innovative, hands-on, and grounded in the Jesuit tradition. There are many engineering specialties like Environmental Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, which you might find interesting.

4. Catholic University of America: Located in Washington D.C, CUA offers degrees in biomedical engineering, environmental Engineering, and mechanical engineering to name a few.

5. University of Dayton: UD's School of Engineering provides a combination of experiential learning and a values-based education that is recognized nationally. They offer several kinds of engineering degrees including but not limited to chemical, electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering.

6. Santa Clara University: Operating since 1912, the School of Engineering offers undergraduate programs in several specialties and is known for its focus on innovation and entrepreneurship.

Each of these universities brings a unique strength to their engineering programs, be it in terms of the curriculum, faculty, research opportunities, or on-campus recruitment. I suggest researching each of these universities in-depth and perhaps speaking to current students or alumni to get a better idea of each program. Good luck with your decision!
