More than 1,100 Christian universities and colleges were surveyed. Only 100 schools made the list based on the quality of facilities, having an entering freshman class in fall 2015 with a high school grade point average and SAT/ACT score equal to or above the national average for all freshmen, being closely affiliated with a Christian denomination, and integrating Christian principles and belief in the instructional curriculum and social environment. Institutions did not pay to participate in the survey or ranking.
