Institution Selection

We curate a list of 200+ institutions identified as Catholic through formal affiliation (diocesan or religious order) and mission statements. University rankings are sourced from Webometrics, a globally recognized web-based ranking system. Using large language models (LLMs) and manual verification, we tag each school for STEM majors: CS, Engineering, Math, Physics, Biology, and Chemistry.

 

Catholic Identity Categories

Each institution in our database is classified by its relationship to the Catholic Church. These categories appear as color-coded badges on search results and map markers.

 

1. Newman Guide Recommended
Schools recommended by The Cardinal Newman Society's Guide to Choosing a Catholic College. These institutions have been vetted for their fidelity to the Church's Magisterium, vibrant campus ministry, strong sacramental life, and commitment to Catholic intellectual tradition in their curricula. They are the most hard-core Catholic instiutions you will find.

 

2. Independent Catholic University

A standalone institution founded and operated under Catholic auspices — typically by a diocese or religious order — where the entire university is Catholic in its governance, mission, and campus life. Institutions were identified using the Wikipedia lists of Catholic universities in the United States and Canada.

 

3. Catholic College within a Secular University

A Catholic college operating within a larger secular university — common in Canadian higher education (e.g. St. Michael's College at the University of Toronto or King's University College at Western University). Students access both the college's Catholic community and the broader university's resources. Affiliations were identified using LLMs. If you see a mistake please let us know.

 

4. Catholic Campus Ministry (Newman Club)

A Catholic campus ministry serving students at a secular university that has no formal Catholic affiliation. While the university itself is not Catholic, these ministries provide Mass, sacraments, faith formation, and Catholic community life for students on campus. Ministries were identified using Newman Connection, the national directory of Catholic campus ministries.
