Catholic Colleges with Engineering Programs

<p>I would like to get opinions on Catholic colleges that have Engineering programs. It seems like the only schools are ND, Villanova, Marquette and Catholic. I guess that is their ranking as well (ND, 'nova, Marquette and lastly Catholic). Any thoughts?</p>

<p>Saint Louis University is another. Good merit aid.</p>

<p>Santa Clara University, University of Portland</p>

<p>Catholic U in Washington DC has engineering program also</p>

<p>I found 48 Catholic colleges and universities that offer Engineering:
NCCAA:</a> Search for colleges</p>

<p>Check out the University of Dayton.</p>

Use caution when reviewing the NCCAA list. True, the list shows 48 schools in the "Engineering and Technical" category, but most of them do not actually have traditional, ABET-accredited engineering degree programs. </p>

<p>In many cases, the advertised "engineering" program is actually a joint 3/2 program with another, non-Catholic school. In other cases, the degree is in a related field, like "engineering technology" or "engineering physics", but is not a "real" engineering degree. This may or may not be what you are looking for.</p>

<p>You might want to cross-check the NCCAA list with the list of ABET schools. There are fewer schools on both lists, but they include:</p>

<p>Carroll College
Christian Bros. Univ.
Fairfield Univ.
Gannon Univ.
Gonzaga Univ.
Loyola Coll. (MD)
Loyola Marymount Univ.
Manhattan Coll.
Marquette Univ.
Merrimack Coll.
St. Louis Univ.
St. Martin's Univ.
Santa Clara Univ.
Seattle Univ.
St. Ambrose Univ.
St. Mary's Univ. (TX)
Univ. of Dayton
Univ. of Detroit Mercy
Univ. of Notre Dame
Univ. of Portland
Univ. of San Diego
Univ. of St. Thomas (MN)
Villanova Univ.</p>

<p>Note also that many of these schools appear to have relatively small programs, with only one or two engineering disciplines represented.</p>

Catholic U should be added to the list above. It has ABET-accredited degree programs in Civil, Biomedical, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering, and it seems safe to assume that it is a Catholic institution. </p>

<p>But for whatever reason, it doesn't show up on the NCCAA list.</p>

In terms of the US News National University rankings, St. Louis University is currently tied with Marquette. The Universities of Dayton and San Diego rank lower, but ahead of Catholic University.</p>

<p>Many of the other schools listed above rank highly in the separate US News "Master's University" categories. For example, Fairfield and Loyola follow directly behind Villanova in the "Master's Univ. - North" ranking, and Santa Clara, Gonzaga, Loyola Marymount, Portland, and Seattle are all near the top in the "Master's Univ. - West" ranking.</p>

We love UD!

I like these engineering universities…
