Leading Christian Education Website Publishes Comprehensive Guide to Best Online Christian Colleges
DURHAM, N.C., Feb. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading Christian higher education resource, Christian Universities Online (http://www.christianuniversitiesonline.org/), has published a comprehensive guide to the best Christian colleges and universities. The guide includes basic information on all Christian colleges with online bachelor's degree programs recognized or accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS), the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU), or the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI).
Enrollment in online education continues to outpace enrollment figures of overall higher education and also continues to expand its appeal to a diverse group of students. "Whether you are already working, simply want to complete your degree on your own time, or have no interest in traditional campus life, an online bachelor degree could reap great benefits for your future," writes Templeton. He goes on to say, "Once you have decided that an online bachelor degree is the path you need to take, finding a concise summary of intentionally Christian institutions that offer this type of degree should be your next step." This comprehensive guide has been put together to provide that information so you can quickly review schools and narrow down your list of options for further consideration.
Tuition costs were used to order the schools on the list. Faith Evangelical College and Seminary in Tacoma, WA claimed the top spot on the list. The Canadian Prairie Bible Institute in Three Hills, AB and Virginia Baptist College in Fredericksburg, VA were ranked second and third respectively.
