DURHAM, N.C., May 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading Christian higher education resource, Christian Universities Online (http://www.christianuniversitiesonline.org/), has published a ranking of Top 50 Christian Colleges and Universities for Veterans 2016. College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri, claimed the top spot on the list.

The ranking can be viewed at http://www.christianuniversitiesonline.org/top-50-christian-colleges-and-universities-for-veterans-2016/?rank_page=1.

The methodology behind this ranking began with schools that are members, or eligible to be members, of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). Schools were only considered if they had already been ranked in Christian Universities Online's 50 Best Christian Colleges and Universities 2015 ranking. Consideration was also given to whether the schools participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program, and whether or not they give students credit for military training.
