Religious Affiliation of Graduate School

<p>I was wondering, should you take into consideration the religious affiliation of a graduate school into account?</p>

<p>I am considering applying to the Catholic University of America’s dual Masters in Library Science and History. However, I’m not Catholic. Not even close to being Catholic. Does this make a difference for grad school admissions? For the atmosphere? For the political atmosphere?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Does the app. ask religious affiliation? Does the website for your program/s indicate a requirement?</p>

<p>My D applied to one Catholic U for grad. It has a requirement of to philosophy and two religion courses.</p>

<p>I don’t think it will make a difference for admissions and not only will you likely find many non-Catholic students attending, you will also find that there is an <em>extremely</em> broad range of attitude and nuances of belief among Catholics. E.g., there are certainly substantial numbers of pro-choice, pro-gay marriage Catholics.</p>
