Assumption, Holy Cross make best Catholic schools list

Holy Cross has been named the seventh best Catholic school in the nation.

Assumption College and the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester have been named among the top Catholic colleges and universities in the nation in a listing created by College Choice.

The college selection organization ranked Holy Cross as the seventh best Catholic school in the country, behind No. 1. University of Notre Dame. Boston College ranked fourth on the list and highest for a Massachusetts school.

This high ranking for Holy Cross came from its wide breadth of offerings, with College Choice noting it is the only Catholic college ranked among the top 50 liberal arts schools by U.S. News and World Report.

Assumption College rounded out the list at 53rd in the nation, with College Choice noting its emphasis on students serving the community as well as traveling abroad to learn about different cultures.

College Choice created the ranking using college reputation, net cost, average financial aid packages and average starting graduate salary. The organization recently ranked online master's degree of business administration programs, listing Worcester Polytechnic Institute's flex-track MBA program 42nd in the nation.
