Christian schools, including those offering graduate programs, have a strong history in North America and, it would appear, a strong future. Currently there are over 900 self-described religiously affiliated and accredited campuses across the USA and about 40 in Canada, the majority of which are Christian universities, Christian colleges and Bible colleges. Christian graduate schools must meet the needs of a diverse student body, which includes students from up to 30 to 40 different religious affiliations. Diverse in character, Christian grad schools may therefore be non-denominational or attached to a specific tradition (such as Presbyterian, Wesleyan, Baptist, etc.). They offer master's degrees and, less commonly, PhDs as well as graduate diplomas and certificates. Programs span religious and theological studies, including various types of practical ministry. In fact, there are over 250 graduate schools that specifically offer professional and academic degree programs related to ministry and the theological disciplines. But Christian graduate schools offer more then religious programs; you can also find a range of liberal arts and professional programs offered from the perspective of a Christian worldview, including business administration, communications, counseling psychology, education and nursing. Many of North America's Christian grad schools and grad school programs have achieved national and international attention for their missionary and social outreach endeavors.
