Applicant Profile           

Christ College seeks students who wish to grow in knowledge and wisdom for the glory of God and the service of others. We welcome applications from students who enjoy learning—reading broadly and deeply, engaging in the timeless questions of truth and the search for “permanent things” from a biblical foundation in a rigorous academic environment. We welcome students from any orthodox Christian tradition. What is most important is that students practice biblical faithfulness and are committed to seeking the Lord in all things – spiritually, mentally, and bodily. Students who thrive at Christ College are humble, recognizing that education is a life-long process in which the horizons of our knowledge are encountered as we grow more deeply into the image of Christ. This process calls for discipline, a strong work ethic, and charity from students who are driven by intellectual curiosity matched with perseverance to complete a task, relishing the gift of life together and the joy of rigorously pursuing the life of the mind at Christ College. Significant to the admissions committee is that applicants understand and are willing to join the unique program of studies at Christ College.

Admissions Policies

• Completion of secondary education 

Students applying to Christ College must have completed high school or its equivalent, and successful applicants usually have earned a “B” or higher average in their secondary-level studies. Christ College does not require students to have studied any particular language or classical discipline, but most successful applicants have studied at least two years of classical or foreign language in high school as well as logic and rhetoric. Additionally, most successful applicants have followed a college preparatory course that includes three years of English and/or humanities, two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and three years of science.

• Written essays and statement of faith

Applicants are required to submit several essays as part of the application process. Applicants should understand that the Admissions Committee carefully evaluates these writing samples as an important part of the application process. Applicants are encouraged to turn in their best work both in what they say and how they say it.

Applicants are not required to subscribe to Christ College’s Statement of Faith to become students at Christ College, however, they must abide by the Student Code of Ethics.

• CLT scores

All applicants under the age of twenty-five are required to submit CLT scores from the Classic Learning Test. The Admissions Committee will consider these scores as one part of the application portfolio, but Christ College does not set a required minimum score for acceptance.

• Provisional admissions

Students who do not meet the set standards for admission may be accepted to Christ College under provisions set by the Admissions Committee. The provisions are set on an individual basis, but it is customary that students are provisionally admitted full-time for one term on the basis that they maintain a 2.0 G.P.A. in all course work. If the students have successfully met the conditions of provisional admission, they may be given regular status, and only then may the credits earned under provisional admission be counted towards graduation. Students who do not meet the conditions of provisional admission will be dismissed from Christ College.
