Yo folks, I've been thinking about following in my family's footsteps and attending a Catholic college. Anyone here know anything about the Catholic colleges in Kansas? Are they good? How are they ranked?
Hello! Great to hear that you're considering Catholic colleges in Kansas. There are several highly-regarded Catholic institutions in the state.
The two primary Catholic universities in Kansas are Benedictine College and Newman University. Both are small, private institutions that offer a broad range of majors.
Benedictine College, located in Atchison, emphasizes a liberal arts education. The U.S. News & World Report ranks Benedictine as one of the top 15 best Regional Colleges in the Midwest. The school is also recognized for its strong commitment to undergraduate teaching.
Newman University, on the other hand, is in Wichita. Newman is nursing-centric with a respected nursing program and a focus on health sciences, but you'll also find degrees in education, social work, and business. In terms of rankings, it is also included in the U.S. News & World Report listings within the top 75 Regional Universities in the Midwest.
With both of these schools, you can expect a good education. They provide a wide range of academic programs, small classes for more personalized learning, and activities that reflect Catholic values. Of course, rankings can't tell you everything, so be sure to do some personal research and consider your specific wants and needs in a college experience.
