Asked by movingirlI just enrolled in their online program. Just wanted some input on the school because I honestly didn't do much research. And it's a Catholic school. I'm Christian. Is that weird to go to a catholic school if I'm christian?

It used to be a private, Catholic 2-yr women's college (Mt St. Clare), complete with convent. It has been reincarnated as a coeducational "university" offering BA and MA degrees, a lot over the internet. The facility has been purchased by Bridgeport Education, Inc. a for-profit outfit in California. Clinton is a small eastern Iowa city on the Mississippi River north of the Quad Cities (Davenport/Bettendorf, IA/Moline/Rock Island, IL). Mt St Clare has met the fate of several private catholic colleges in that it is now co-educational and has been purchased by a for-profit educational corporation. Another regional example is Marycrest college in Davenport which was bought by a Japanese company (Teikyo) and then subsequently closed. BTW, Catholics ARE christians, even if all christians aren't catholics. I wasn't aware that the school is still affiliated with the catholic church, but since you are enrolled, I'll take your word for it. No it isn't "weird" for a non-catholic to attend a catholic school. Lots do it.
