College Choice Releases 2017 Ranking of the 50 Best Christian Colleges

EUGENE, Ore., July 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- College Choice, a leading authority in college and university rankings and resources, has published a ranking of the 50 Best Christian Colleges for 2017.

When some people hear the term "Christian college," they may think about strict rules, boundaries, and church.  However, Christian colleges offer many benefits like mentorship, activities to deepen your faith, study-abroad programs, student clubs and organizations, and service-learning opportunities.  Although many of College Choice's top Christian colleges offer chapel services, campus ministry, and spiritual resources, in some cases they are not required.

"Even as the United States has grown increasingly pluralistic, Christianity remains the dominant religion in the country," Christian Amondson, Managing Editor of College Choice, said of the ranking. "There is a broad network of Christian schools across the country, and this list of the 50 best of them highlights the wide array. I think it will be a good resource for students and families that are looked for a faith-based education."

College Choice developed its list by looking at academic quality along with return on investment—the differential between tuition costs and average early career earnings.

The ranking for the 50 Best Christian Colleges finds Pepperdine University in the top spot. Agnes Scott College is in second, and Earlham College rounds out the top three.
