WTP…………..
Youngest Ms. CTL attends a Catholic College in a special BSRN program that has a specific forensic major…not offered elsewhere. The college has a 6 credit theology requirement for undergraduates. I discussed this with the college president before we allowed her attendance. They offer non-Catholics the option to take any 6 credits in the Philosophy department. Daughter took 6 credits in Jewish studies. Professor was a Rabbi, NOT a Catholic.
BTW>>>I grew up in New Haven, my parents and older siblings were from NY. I didn’t understand why so many of my Jewish friends had mothers who had graduated Albertus Magnus College. (My mother graduated Hunter College in 1940). Seems this was the only local college women could attend in the 1930s and 40s and get a BA or BS degree. Jewish students were exempt from religion classes. Yale was male only and the other local schools such as Quinnipiac were only 2 year schools back then. The state colleges were 2 year Normal Schools at that time. It all changed after WWII.
