<p>A couple criteria:</p>
<p>1) Read the mission statement, every college seems to have one. Does the first paragraph contain a reference to god or religion? If so, you have a religious school. Just mentioning an “affiliation” does not always signal a religious school however.</p>
<p>2) Does the president of the school wear a collar? Dead give-away.</p>
<p>I know this is simplistic, but it’s where I start.</p>
