georgetown is not a private school ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Dear question answerer, You are an imbecile. Georgetown is a PRIVATE, Roman Catholic University. Even if you do not know whether or not it is private (which you clearly do not), you can clearly tell that it is private because it is affiliated with a religious institution (it's called the first amendment - public schools, in order to preserve freedom of religion, cannot be affiliated with a religion). In the future, I would ask you to please refrain from answering questions that you know nothing about. Thank you.
Georgetown University is one. I'm not sure of this but Saint Leo University is pretty old too (1889). Link below
Bill Clinton graduated from Georgetown U in DC, which is traditionally Catholic (Jesuit) Lyndon Johnson also took law classes there but did not graduate.
The oldest Catholic university that I know of is Georgetown, which was founded by the Jesuits in 1789. The next would be Mount Saint Mary's in Amortizable, Maryland, which was established by the Sulpicians as the seminary for the United States in 1808. There are any number of Jesuits institutions which were founded in the 19th century, with Spring Hill (1830) and Santa Clara (1831) being the oldest (not counting Georgetown).
Clinton went the Georgetown to study and did quite well as a Baptist from Arkansas in a Catholic school in the East.
Georgetown's founding by John Carroll, America's first bishop, realized efforts to establish a Roman Catholic college in the province of Maryland that were repeatedly thwarted by religious persecution. The university expanded after the American Civil War under the leadership of Patrick Francis Healy, who came to be known as Georgetown's "second founder" despite having been born a slave. Jesuits have participated in the university's administration since 1805, a heritage Georgetown celebrates, but the university has always been governed independently of the Society of Jesus and of church authorities.
where some schools are Jesuit like Georgetown and Boston College, providence college is a catholic school similar to University of Notre Dame. The difference is that Jesuit schools are ones that were founded with catholic roots by the catholic church. A catholic university was both founded by the catholic church, but also ran by the catholic church still to this day. Usually with a catholic seminary involved. Providence is a very catholic college. Their mascot is the friar, and still to this day friars and nuns teach at the college.
Parahyangan Catholic University was created in 1955.
