This ranking employs the same methodology found in an earlier ranking from Christian Universities Online-- 50 Most Beautiful Christian Colleges and Universities in the US 2016. Both rankings give consideration to a variety of categories. Each category is given equal weight to provide a ranking with as much objectivity as possible. These are as follows: 1) continuity of campus; 2) architectural style; 3) signature building(s); and 4) natural setting. The scores in each category were standardized and combined to rank these top 25 schools. Each school included in this ranking is either a member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) or considered member eligible.
Anna-Rebekah Orr, site editor, states that the goal of the ranking was to highlight schools whose campuses compliment their educational offerings with a visually appealing environment. Orr states, "While a beautiful campus is never the sole criterion for choosing a school, aesthetic appeal cannot be dismissed as unimportant. A beautiful college campus forms the backdrop of one's college experience, becomes the locus of fond memories, and has the potential to function as a haven for personal growth and learning. A regional ranking like this one, because it is more narrow in scope than a national ranking, allows some local schools to be showcased for their campus appeal. We hope this list will be a useful guide for students who are interested in attending college in the south."
