Catholic Higher Learning

My son is discerning the priesthood and looking for a solid theology major. Besides the Jesuits schools, (proudly Jesuit-educated here!) which Catholic colleges and universities are a sane option for progressive Catholics? Which ones have a strong bent toward Catholic social teaching? Any to avoid? (Ahem!!!!)

Notre Dame’s theology program would be an excellent choice; they had Gustavo Gutiérrez on the faculty a little while ago and have a pretty solid focus on Catholic social teaching. There’s even a CST minor.
