Walsh University is once again proud to be recognized in The Newman Guide, now available in digest-sized print and as a free digital e-book. Walsh has earned a five-year inclusion in the 2025–2026 edition, placing it among just 25 colleges worldwide recognized for their unwavering commitment to academic excellence, authentic Catholic identity, and the formation of students for lives of purpose and service.
Becoming a Newman Guide–recommended college requires a rigorous, comprehensive review to ensure full compliance with the Guide’s policy and curriculum standards and fidelity to Catholic teaching and the mission of Catholic education. For nearly two decades, Catholic families have relied on The Newman Guide, published by The Cardinal Newman Society, as a trusted resource for identifying institutions that form the whole person and provide a rigorous intellectual education grounded in truth.
According to Kelly Salomon, Vice President of Newman Guide Programs, the Guide’s standards not only uphold Catholic identity but also protect educators’ religious freedom from legal threats and the influence of false ideology. While there are many approaches to Catholic education, the heart of The Newman Guide, as Pope Leo XIV writes in Drawing New Maps of Hope, is preserving a central focus on evangelization in fidelity to Catholic teaching and practice. Walsh’s inclusion affirms its place among institutions that safeguard faith, freedom, and academic excellence—an achievement alumni and the entire Walsh community can proudly celebrate and share with families seeking a Christ-centered education.
