Christian college with strong Math/Science department

<p>Hi!
I want to major in mathematics, but it’s hard to find resource that rates Christian college/university’s Math/Science department.</p>

<p>Can someone give some input and suggestions? Thank you very much!</p>

<p>In general, religious colleges and universities are not noted for their strength in science, math, or engineering. You might try looking for schools with [ABET](<a href=“http://www.abet.org%5B/url%5DABET%5B/url%5D-accredited”>www.abet.org[/url)-accredited</a> engineering or computer science programs, or [ACS](<a href=“American Chemical Society”>American Chemical Society)-approved</a> chemistry programs. If their engineering, compsci, and/or chemistry programs can meet these standards, then their other math and science programs are probably solid too.</p>

<p>Hope College (Holland, MI) and Calvin College (Grand Rapids) are certainly worth looking at for those fields!</p>

<p>Thank you Corbett and Zetesis.
I looked at Hope College and Calvin College, it seems like both colleges are ABET and ACS accredited.
Other suggestions? :slight_smile: Thanks!</p>

<p>Agree with Calvin and Hope. Other possibilities:</p>

<p>Wheaton (the one in Illinois). No engineering program, but offers 3-2 program with IIT. ACS-accredited for chemistry.</p>

<p>Baylor. ABET and ACS accredited. </p>

<p>Baylor, Wheaton, Calvin, and Hope are all ranked in the top tier of their respective categories by US News. </p>

<p>Other religious schools with respectable math/science include a number of Catholic schools and BYU, but these may or may not meet your definition of “Christian”.</p>

<p>I know Wheaton in Illinois has a really excellent science department, and I think math is respectable as well.</p>

<p>St. Olaf has very, very strong math and science programs – very high percentage of their graduates go on to PhD programs and medical school.</p>

<p>Not sure about math, but doesn’t Samford have a pretty good science program. I know that they minimally have a pharmacy school there as one of my d’s friends will be going there.</p>
