We ended up doing exactly what you suggest: 1. call the college or university & ask as many questions as I could think of 2. narrow the list to a select few 3. visit & question some more It's the same steps you would use to find a secular college, I think, but the questions would be different. Please note that "Christian" in the name doesn't always mean much. For instance, one of my first questions was "What do you do in chapel?" If the answer pertained to poetry & announcements, I moved on.

The academics are excellent, the spiritual life is rich, and the gospel commitment to the pursuit of justice is cultivated in students. You'd have to read the varied mission statements, visit, attend services and speak with campus ministers to see if this is your brand of "Christian." Carolyn Johnson, Ed.D.
