Question
Hi,
I am currently a high schooler who hopes to major in Curriculum and Instruction or Chinese (specifically Chinese Education). What are some colleges that are strong in this field? Also, I am considering a Christian college. I go to a nondenominational church (although I think we would be most similar to the Presbyterians). Which Christian colleges provide rigorous academics (preferably with Chinese and/or education) but also have classes specifically regarding the Christian faith? Any help would be appreciated!

Answer
Michelle,

Your top notch Christian schools include:

Calvin
Wheaton
Houghton
Westmont
Grove City
Gordon
Hope
Baylor University
Seattle Pacific

Sorry to say, I don't know offhand which offer Chinese. I suggest you go to these web sites for more info:

NACCAP (admissions) - this provides a list of Christian college fairs around the US - a good way to connect with these schools.

CCCU - org of Christian colleges that can offer list of campuses and other resources.

ELIC (Eng Lang Inst of China)

Best wishes for your college search.
