Purposeful Academics

Be equipped with a biblically based education for life

Our academics encourage students to be curious and ask hard questions. We guide you by equipping you with the technical skills and practical experience needed to lead a successful life and career with a godly purpose.

The areas of study we offer will help you achieve your academic goals, and our highly educated and accomplished professors are ready to support you in your studies as well as relevant research and extracurricular opportunities. All students complete a senior capstone project, which is the culmination of their research guided by faculty mentors.

quotation mark
The academics here at Covenant are challenging, and the professors don't shy away from pushing us to think about new ideas and talk about topics we may be uncomfortable with or that we haven't thought about before. It often feels as if the professors are over-qualified. They are so brilliant and teach in a Christ-centered way—whether it's history, fitness for life, or a literature class—it all points back to the greater design and greater Orchestrator.

The Value of a Covenant College Education

When comparing the academic rigor of different colleges, students might find themselves in a never-ending cycle of trying to compare which professor’s doctorate degree is worth more and never taking the opportunity to ask themself, “What makes this college’s education valuable for me?”
