Yo, what's up everyone? I wanna hit up a Catholic college in Chicago, does anyone know if there's any out there? Are they well-regarded? I'm specifically interested in Business programs.
Hello there! Chicago does indeed offer a variety of Catholic colleges for students. Two prominent Catholic colleges in the city are Loyola University Chicago and DePaul University.
Loyola University Chicago, in particular, is one of the largest Catholic universities in the United States and is well regarded for its solid academics. Specific to your interest, Loyola's Quinlan School of Business has strong undergraduate and graduate business programs. The Quinlan School of Business is highly ranked for its Supply Chain Management and Entrepreneurship programs.
DePaul University is another notable Catholic university in Chicago. The Driehaus College of Business at DePaul University also offers various undergraduate and graduate business programs, and is particularly known for its strong programs in Marketing, Entrepreneurship, and Management.
Both of these schools are known for emphasizing social justice, community service, and ethical leadership through the Catholic, Jesuit (Loyola) and Vincentian (DePaul) traditions which align with Catholic teachings and values.
However, as you're gearing up to apply, remember to also consider other factors in your college decision like location, size, cost, and student life. It's a good idea to utilize resources like net price calculators for each school to estimate your financial aid and visit campuses (if possible) to get a feel of the college environment. An informed decision will ensure that you feel comfortable and flourish in your college of choice. Happy college hunting!
