Well, it is an evangelical college so they probably don't even believe that Catholics and Protestants worship the same god.
Do Christians and muslims worship the same God?

They're going to fire you for even suggesting Catholics worship a god rather than a demon.

First off you have to be careful as within most faiths there are divisions and then you have to separate the true believers from the cultural followers. For example many people grew up in church and parents went to church, they may even go to church still so they call themselves a Christian. Then there are those that believe what the Bible says and really believe in the God of the Bible.
Muslims believe in One God. They claim Christians who believe in the Trinity are not Monotheist and are basically Pagans. Christians believe God became man in the form of Jesus - Died on the Cross and rose again. His death was a payment for sin; the concept of Grace. Muslims have no concept like Grace it is a matter of doing what they think God wants them to do with a hope of getting into heaven. Christianity claims to be Monotheist; but there are 3 aspects of God - Father - Son - Holy Spirit. The trinity is central to Christianity. It also explains many of the Christian Communities stand on issues of traditional marriage and such.
Ok that is 2000 years of theology in 2 paragraphs. So yes there are lots of exceptions, questions, and disagreement. But that is the basic.
