Christian postsecondary education has a strong history in the United States and, it would appear, a strong future. Currently there are over 900 self-described religiously affiliated and accredited campuses across the USA. While these may be based on different religious faiths, the majority are four-year Christian universities, Christian colleges and Bible colleges.

Christian postsecondary institutions must meet the needs of a diverse student body, which includes students from up to 30 - 40 different religious affiliations. Diverse in character, Christian universities and colleges may therefore be non-denominational or attached to a specific tradition (such as Presbyterian, Wesleyan, Baptist, etc.). They offer undergraduate bachelor's degrees, associate's degrees and certificates, and may also offer graduate studies. Programs span religious and theological studies, including various types of practical ministry, as well as a range of liberal arts and professional programs offered from the perspective of a Christian worldview, including business, early childhood education, social work, and even outdoor leadership. Many of the USA's Christian universities and colleges have achieved national and international attention through their missionary and social outreach endeavors.

Our database of Universities has been divided for ease of use into six regions consistent with the six regional accrediting associations recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education and the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). In addition, the states within each region are represented by similar histories, traditions, economies, climates and geography and are therefore, likely to define the typical boundaries for your search for a post-secondary institution.
