Ranking Process

This ranking endeavors to highlight Christian colleges and universities who offer the very best in Visual Arts programs. Each institution listed is fully accredited and offer programs with unique features that cause it to stand out among the rest in the field of Christian colleges. This list features Christian college visual arts programs that are in the top tier in terms of the quality, value, and overall educational experience they have to offer.

The methodology behind this ranking began with schools that are members or member eligible of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). We then collected publicly available data for these schools in the following categories: 1) Number of undergraduate and graduate visual art degrees, 2) Faculty-to-student ratio, 3) Percent of full-time beginning undergraduates receiving grant or scholarship aid, 4) Selectivity, 5) Overall retention rate and 6) Overall graduation rate.  The number of degree programs category received a slightly higher weight with all other categories receiving equal weight in calculating the final ranking.
