[quote=Anonymous]CUA can definitely be a good fit for the right student. Maybe more a fit for your B student, student athlete, or passionate catholic if going there for undergrad.

The school was historically better than it is now. It was a graduate only institution for many decades and had strong PhD programs across the arts, sciences, eng. It still does have graduate programs and lots of research, but mainly in the humanities, philosophy, theology.

It is THE pontifical university in the states, and lots of catholic religious leaders, bishops and the like, have studied there.

Nursing, social work are good too. There's music and drama. The eng and arch programs are accredited, I'm sure kids do well from there, but do your homework on those.

It's not the type of place sending kids to wall street or consulting.

The law school is declining IMO. But it could be. a good place to get merit money for law school.

The location within DC obviously affords access to movers and shakers, lots of internship opportunities.

The school has really leaned into being conservative catholic in recent years. But there still is a good mix of political affiliations among the students. The admin's shift towards conservatism/more intense catholicism has been good for courting conservative donors and developing links with the conservative Washington political elite, but probably bad for the university's reputation, and def not good for attracting bright students from across the country, most of whom who don't want doctrinaire conservative catholicism.[/quote]
