<p>Tim,</p>
<p>Last I checked the Jesuits are an order of the Roman Catholic church similar to the Sisters of Mercy, the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. the Congregation of the Holy Cross and many others.</p>
<p>Perhaps the distinction you may be looking for is whether the school’s Theology department has agreed to follow Ex Corde Ecclesiae. None of the schools listed by Shellzie or you have agreed to the Mandatum.</p>
<p>It also depends upon what you consider the best in the country, the College of the Holy Cross is listed under Liberal Arts Colleges not national universities. Then again they are a Jesuit school.</p>
