Urban Christian Colleges

Finding the right college is one of the most important decisions in pursuing your education, but locating a school that combines all the qualities you're looking for can take some legwork. If you're seeking a Christian college in a large city, there are a number of options around the nation for you to consider.
  1. North Park University

    • North Park University is a school of approximately 3,000 students located on Chicago's north side, with its roots in the Evangelical Covenant Church. Despite its urban location, the campus resembles a traditional row college, with brick buildings spaced between lawns. North Park offers more than 30 different undergraduate majors programs and an additional 26 minors. The university is also associated with North Park Theological Seminary, whose programs are available nation-wide.

    Fordham University

    • Fordham University was founded as a Jesuit school, and while it doesn't take an explicitly Christian approach toward all its students, the school does boast an active interest in the nation's religious life as well as degrees in theology and orthodox Christian studies. Fordham is located in New York City's Bronx Borough, and enrolls 8,000 undergraduate and 6,000 graduate students. The school typically provides housing for approximately half its undergraduates.

    Eastern University

    • Eastern University's primary campus, located just west of Philadelphia, provides a traditional college environment, but the university also has three locations within the city itself, associated with two Philadelphia churches, Sharon Baptist Church and The Mount Airy Church of God in Christ. The school has an active dedication to evangelism within the community, as well as social and economic justice programs. Approximately 4,000 students are enrolled in the university, which offers 31 majors, 35 minors, and programs specifically designed for graduate and theological students.

    Warner Pacific College

    • Warner Pacific College's campus is located in downtown Portland, Oregon, and enrolls 1,500 students, about 500 of whom are traditional undergraduates. The college is associated with the Church of God, and provides a liberal arts education with 26 majors and 28 minors programs. Warner is focused on making private higher education more affordable, so it initiated a new tuition model in 2008-09 that's 37 percent lower than average for Pacific Northwest private universities.
