All schools in this ranking are members of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), or eligible for membership. Publicly available data was then gathered from U.S. News & World Report. The single data point used to build this ranking was the average total indebtedness of the 2014 graduating class.
Anna Rebekah Orr, editor for Christian Universities Online, states "Understanding the long term impact that student loan debt can have on a graduate, this ranking attempts to highlight schools that have done an excellent job caring for their students not only academically, but also financially." Orr and CUO understand the needs of parents and students when it comes to making an informed decision about the Christian institution that will best meet their needs. This ranking was put together with that goal in mind.
