WITH
MORE OPTIONS available to students than
ever before, Christian colleges and universities are becoming an
increasingly popular choice among post-secondary bound students. And it is
easy to see why. Whether you’re looking to spend a year gaining a
better understanding of the Bible, or you want to obtain your degree in an
environment that supports your Christian faith, you’ll find a college
or university that creates opportunities for you.
Today’s Christian colleges and universities
boast strong academics to prepare you for your career, a faith-based
environment that increases your biblical understanding and helps you
integrate your faith into your daily life, and endless opportunities to
reach out and impact the world around you.
Prepare for your career!
Christian colleges and universities offer an array of
academic programs ranging from Bible and missions, to nursing and
psychology . . . and more. By carefully evaluating the various schools
available, you can find an institution that will prepare you for your
career.
With smaller class sizes than large public
universities, Christian colleges and universities offer you increased
opportunities. You’ll get to know your professors personally and be
able to ask them questions to clarify and deepen your understanding of the
subject you’re studying. And when you’ve shown an aptitude for
a subject, as Krista Lauginson (BSc ‘03) did, you’ll discover
opportunities to gain real world work experience. “At my school,
almost every upper level student in the chemistry department has an
opportunity to work in some way within the department. I worked as a
teaching assistant for the analytical chemistry labs and as a research
assistant for professors,” says Krista. “This gave me work
experience that looks great on a resume or grad school application. In a
larger institution these jobs would be done by graduate students or
possibly a few of the top undergrads.”

Grow in your faith!
A key distinctive of a Christian college or university
is the faith-based environment – an environment in which your
Christian faith is supported, and where you are free to question and
explore other world views. Because all truth is viewed as God’s
truth, professors don’t shy away from the hard questions, and in fact
encourage you to understand and explore not only your own faith but other
points of view. You’ll learn to integrate your faith into your chosen
area. Says Kara Pecknold (BA, ’93), “The school I chose was a
place where I could ask hard questions with the support of faculty and
peers who wanted to uncover the truth as much as I did.”
Impact your world!
Opportunities to reach out to the world around you
abound on Christian campuses. Whether you choose to go overseas with a
campus mission team or participate in a Saturday morning Kids Club for
underprivileged youth, Christian campuses offer unique and exciting avenues
for you to impact your world. As you get involved in various opportunities,
giving to others, you discover that your life is also changed.
Whether you want to spend one year or four years in a
Christian environment, Christian colleges and universities are an exciting
possibility. Visit the Christian College and University Fairs website
(www.ccufairs.ca) for a listing of the institutions that you have an
opportunity to visit this fall in a city near you. You’ll find
overviews online that will help you decide which institution is the best
