How does Hope College in Holland MI rank?

15 hours a week working on campus used to just be a warm-up gig for many college students largely paying their own way through school.

The criteria and the report itself were described by the author as a presentation attempting to “present a ranking of Christian colleges and universities taking into consideration a variety of quantitative values. We first began with regionally accredited schools that were also either accredited by TRACS or a member/affiliate of CCCU.” Templeton went on to say:

“Focusing on these accredited schools, the ranking was compiled considering which offered the highest degree of personal attention (student-to-faculty ratio), selectivity (acceptance rate), financial assistance (% receiving financial aid), and student satisfaction (retention and graduation rates). These factors were all given equal weight.

Apparently "teaches conservative Christian faith and values" wasn't on the list of factors being given equal weight.

I’m not sure that I would call Baylor Univerity a Christian college anymore. It was once a strong Southern Baptist college but moved away from that several years ago wanting to be more accepted by secular academia. The same thing is happening to Grand Canyon College.

Religious colleges—even obscure, regional schools that no one has ever heard of on the coasts—often do a much better job in that respect.

It isn't rocket science. Diversity of opinion is permitted at these obscure, regional schools. It isn't tolerated at the Ivies, with the isolated exception of a few departments, mainly business and the hard sciences.

And NOT ONE of the top 50 Christian colleges is Catholic? I call BS.

A lot depends on how “Christian” is defined. Bible believing? Scripture alone? Or scripture plus whatever?
