A faith-based college is one where the institution subscribes to a particular religion or statement of faith. Depending on the institutional philosophy and purpose, students are given varying degrees of mandatory religious education as part of the curriculum. Most faith-based colleges will offer religious (“chapel”) services regularly, and a number of them require students to attend. However, the most significant hallmark of a faith-based college is that they will teach students from a religious point of view. In other words, even non-religious subjects will often be influenced by religious teaching. Also, students will normally be expected to behave in ways that are permitted by the college faith.
