Why not just attend a Christian college? I do believe there is a bias against Christianity in many public colleges so why give them your money?

My kids are grown and gone, and I'd really like to do what you suggest.

How do I go about it?

I sort of agree with you (doesn't happen very often, does it?), but I don't think it's a bias against Christianity. I think it's a bias for left wing Socialism/statism. The public schools couldn't care squat about whether a student is a Christian, they just want to produce good little liberals.

In the sciences, the situation is less bad, since science is very objective. Bur ourside the sciences, things are going from bad to worse. All the courses should be titled "indoctrination into ....".

It is the parent's duty to provide the best they can for their kids. The problem is that a degree form Joe's Bible College just doesn't carry much weight in the real world.

Simple reason they are not as good as the major universities.
Notre Dame is about the best "Christian" and it does not compare with the absolute best.

Certainly a course entitled "Christianity's effect on Western Civilization" could be properly counted it all depends upon the reading list and the depth to which the teacher takes the course.

The trouble is that most Christian colleges are on the small side, and so they can't afford to offer all of the common science majors, like physics, chemistry, and biology. They also usually can't afford to support strong engineering departments.

If you want to be a pocket-protector type, and can't afford Harvard, then public schools are the best way to go.
