Abstract
Founded in 1843 in Worcester, Massachusetts, Holy Cross is the oldest Catholic college in New England. A National Liberal Arts College, it has more than 2,900 undergraduates, more than most other liberal arts schools across the United States. Among the top 50 National Liberal Arts Colleges, as ranked in U.S. News, Holy Cross is the highest-ranked school (32nd) that has a religious affiliation. Exclusively an undergraduate college, Holy Cross is also one of the smallest Jesuit institutions in the country. Only Spring Hill College (AL) and Wheeling Jesuit University (WV) have fewer students. An all-male school until 1975, Holy Cross’ enrollment is now 52 percent female.
