Summary

The Christian higher education landscape confuses many people. Parents, students, staff, and faculty have long needed a rating system to explain the variety of approaches Christian colleges and universities take as they educate and train students. This guidebook introduces the Operationalizing Christian Identity Guide (OCIG), a comprehensive tool that identifies, ranks, and evaluates the significant ways Christian colleges and universities operationalize their Christian identity to make mission, marketing, membership, curriculum, cocurricular, and other decisions. Those who care about the future of Christian higher education will find this extensive research project invaluable. This book provides access to an online spreadsheet of OCIG scores updated in real-time for all Christian colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. -- back
