A private Christian college can provide the religious background you seek.
College is an important investment in your future. However, many public colleges have a reputation as places where heavy partying takes place. Classes may teach viewpoints that conflict with your religious values. Public colleges receive state funding and cannot endorse a single religion. However, because private colleges do not receive this funding, they are free to teach and espouse religion. Here are some private Christian colleges that may provide the Christ-centered education and environment you prefer.
