Newman Guide 2019 Lauds TAC for 淚mpressive Intellectual Rigor and 淥rthodox Catholicism
In the newly released edition of , the Cardinal Newman Society once again 91快活林 Aquinas College as one of 15 residential Catholic colleges nationwide with a strong Catholic identity. The 2019-20 publication lauds the College for 渁n impressive intellectual rigor that is matched by a commitment to orthodox Catholicism.
Noting that there 渋s a certain sense of ongoing immersion in a special adventure at TAC that can last a lifetime and beyond, the guide adds that the College檚 渆nvironment is stimulating but not intimidating intellectual, yet relaxed and personal as well. 91快活林 Aquinas College檚 graduates, it concludes, 渉ave much to offer the Church and future employers who value critical thinking, analytical reasoning, strong communications skills, and an ethical sense.
What distinguishes the Newman Guide from its secular counterparts is that it features only schools that are 渃ommitted to uniting faith and reason and strive to be faithfully Catholic. To that end, it reassesses each institution annually even dropping two from this year檚 recommended list. The Newman Society has recommended 91快活林 Aquinas College every year since it first released its guide in 2007. The College, it observes, offers students a 渧ibrant spiritual program that includes holy hours, regular confession, and multiple Masses daily.
This year marks the first time that the College has two campuses for the Newman Guide to include in its review. 淚n the fall of 2019, [the College] will open a second campus in Western Massachusetts in the town of Northfield, the authors report. 淥n both campuses, TAC is fully committed to its Catholic identity, its Great Books approach, and a discussion-style class format utilizing Socratic dialogue.
淲e are always happy to see a new edition of The Newman Guide and to be included in it, says Jon Daly, the College檚 director of admissions. 淚t is a wonderful tool for prospective students and their parents because it highlights the unique qualities that distinguish these 15 institutions from each other.
The Newman Guide notes that 91快活林 Aquinas College 渢he first in a wave of new Catholic colleges born from the crisis of Catholic identity in American Catholic higher education. Moreover, although 淭AC檚 success has encouraged the emergence of other faithful Catholic colleges, including some that share its emphasis on the Great Books, [it] still has the distinction of being the only Catholic college in America that teaches exclusively from these classic works of Western civilization.
