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. -- backChristian universities and collegesEducation, HigherReligious aspectsChristian college studentsReligious lifeUniversités confessionnellesÉtats-UnisEnseignement supérieurAspect religieuxChristian college studentsReligious lifefastChristian universities and collegesfastEducation, HigherReligious aspectsfastUnited StatesfastChristian universities and colleges.Education, HigherReligious aspects.Christian college studentsReligious life.Universités confessionnellesEnseignement supérieurAspect religieux.Christian college studentsReligious life.Christian universities and colleges.Education, HigherReligious aspects.378.07Glanzer Perry L1887044Cockle Theodore F1887045Martin Jessica1887046MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911049140803321Christian Higher Education4522868UNINA
