<p>I jsut wanted to know. I am a protestant and I am thinking of applying to Marquette or villanova. Do catholic universities not allow non catholic's in or do you have to take religious classes? Or is the school just based on Catholicism. I want to go there for business. Is the religion an issue?</p>
<p>I have non-catholic friends at villanova and loyola</p>
<p>My S is Caltholic and Jewish and he is at Villanova. You DO have to take the religion classes and from what my S said, there is a variety.</p>
<p>Most colleges and universities that have religious affiliations admit students who do not share that particular affiliation although there are a few that are open only to members of that particular faith. I don't know of any catholic universities that are closed to non-catholics.</p>
<p>Most colleges and universities that have religious affiliations do require some coursework in religion and/or philosophy. Generally speaking, however, there are lots of courses to choose from. Take a look at the degree requirements, and the specific course offerings in the catalogues to find out what your options could be. One of my sisters took World Religions, and Buddhism for her religion requirements at the protestant denominational college she graduated from.</p>
<p>not a problem at most religious universities. usually if there is a religion requirement you are open to take any religion they offer. and a lot of the times the professors dont assume anything about you or your religion and teach everything from an academic, not belief prospective anyway. dont let it stop you from applying</p>
