The Cardinal Newman Society has recognized DeSales University in the second edition of “The Newman Guide to Choosing a Catholic College,” a free online resource for parents and students seeking a faithful Catholic higher education.

The guide recommends 21 Catholic colleges in the United States, online and unique programs based on its evaluation of the strength of the schools’ Catholic identity.  Evaluations are based on four years of research and hundreds of interviews.

Each college or program is profiled on its academics, governance, spiritual life, student activities and residence life, a press release from the Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) says. A letter to families from each college president and information on financial aid packages have been added to the second edition’s profiles.

The guide also includes several essays to help families better understand their search for a strong Catholic college. Essay subjects include the state of Catholic higher ed, how to find God on a Catholic campus, and how to afford a Catholic education.
