Counseling the Student Interested in Christian

Colleges

Small campus Conservative ideals Chapel attendance required Sheltered and protected environment Students and professors are not open-minded Professors care about their students Party atmosphere is not as prevalent Academics are less rigorous Lack of diversity

But is this really true?

What comes to mind when you think of Christian colleges?

Stereotypes say they’re all the same…

…but there’s more variety than you think!

Official policy generally follows a Biblical worldview

Efforts are made to integrate faith into all aspects of learning, including academic and social experiences on campus

Graduation requirements typically include some element of Bible coursework

So what is a Christian college?

Is your campus affiliated with a particular denomination?

Do you require students and/or professors to sign a statement of faith?

Is chapel attendance required? If so, how often does chapel meet?

What is your policy for visitation in residence halls of the opposite gender?
