What is a Christian College?

A Christian school is a private college or university with an affiliation to a particular church and denomination. This religious affiliation and its private status means that a Christian college is not beholden to the same rules separating church and state at public colleges and universities. This gives Christian colleges fairly wide latitude when it comes to the integration of faith and learning.
