School’s Comments: Catholic faculty is not greater than 50%, but our goal of hiring for mission will increase that percentage. Full-time priest/chaplain, retreat program, increased scholarships for Catholic Students, Catholic high schools programs, and daily Sacred Time (when nothing on campus is scheduled except for Mass). Residences are single-sex except for one, which is single-sex by floor.
