Missouri Baptist College Named in America's Best Christian Colleges
April 1, 2002
Missouri Baptist College has been recognized for the fourth consecutive year as one of America’s Best Christian Colleges on the basis of an evaluation of the nation’s colleges and universities.
Institutional Research & Evaluation, Inc., an independent research organization specializing in higher education, surveyed 1,488 four-year institutions to identify schools with an academically superior student body and which incorporate Christian principles and beliefs into the educational environment.
To be considered for the designation of America’s Best Christian Colleges an institution must be an accredited, four-year college or university which provides facilities for the support of a dynamic on-campus residential education, offering opportunities to qualified students for financial assistance based on need, academics and athletic merits. All colleges must be affiliated with a recognized Christian denomination or be a non-denominational institution providing an educational experience incorporating fundamental Christian principles and beliefs into the instructional and social aspects of the students lives.
"I'm pleased that MBC has once again been acknowledged as one of America's Best Christian College's. This is another recognition that MBC is providing a strong Christian education," stated Dr. Alton Lacey, President of Missouri Baptist College.
MBC is one of twenty-five Southern Baptist Colleges - of fifty-one nationwide - recognized for its superior standing among all Christian peer institutions. Missouri institutions include Culver-Stockton College, Rockhurst University, Southwest Baptist University, William Jewell College, and Saint Louis University.
