Anna-Rebekah Orr, site editor at Christian Universities Online, states that the goal of the ranking is to highlight schools that provide the best overall value in their educational offerings. Orr adds, "The cost of a college degree is increasing. Net price is important, but when students are considering higher education on a budget, they should also take net value into consideration." With this in mind, Christian Universities Online has created a succinct guide that takes net value into account.
