Covenant College

Equipped, Known, Called

We are a Christian liberal arts college. But what is liberal arts, and why does it matter? 

In a nutshell, we aim to educate you as a whole person, creating well-rounded, informed, and thoughtful individuals capable of thinking critically, communicating effectively, and contributing positively to society instead of focusing solely on discipline-specific courses.

Equipped
Our academics involve more than just lectures and textbooks—the academic experience is all-encompassing, equipping students for a lifetime of study and growth. Our uncompromising biblical foundation gives the freedom to explore academics and ask hard questions while receiving practical knowledge. 

Accomplished faculty not only impart knowledge but also nurture and challenge students to grow intellectually and spiritually, guiding students through the complexities of their chosen fields while instilling a deeper understanding of their faith.

Academic excellence is not just a goal—it is a way of life. Through our distinctive approach, students emerge not only with a robust education but also with a firm foundation in their beliefs, ready to make a difference in the world around them.

“The academics here at Covenant College are challenging. They don't shy away from pushing us to think about new ideas to talk about things we may be uncomfortable with or that we haven't thought about before. They challenge us to explain things like predestination, which can get tricky very quickly. But the faculty don't back away from that; it often feels as if the professors here are over-qualified to teach us. They are so brilliant and make us want to know as much as they do. They have been a very big inspiration, especially for me since I'm thinking about teaching. They've exhibited how to teach in a Christ-centered way—whether it's history, fitness for life, or a literature class—it all points back to the greater design and greater orchestrator.” — Ian Fanning, Class of 2026

Known
Here you are seen as a whole person, meaning you are more than just a number. Our students take ownership of developing deep, lasting community, through a residential, purposeful environment designed for both personal and communal development. Students find not only academic challenges but also spaces for fun, fellowship, and lifelong friendships.

Our community isn't just something we talk about—it's something we live out every day, fostering connections that last a lifetime and preparing students to impact their own communities with purpose.

“I was born in the US, but lived in Indonesia for a while. So coming here to the States after four years was a little different, seeing how people interact with each other is culturally shocking. But joining the Covenant community helped me transition. Everybody's very welcoming, and your brothers and sisters in Christ are here helping you faithfully and in every aspect. Overall, Covenant has been transformational in the sense that it's very consistent with its motto 'In Christ all things preeminent.' I believe that Covenant does teach that and incorporates it into every aspect of college life. And one of the best aspects where that's done is in the hall life as a community. It's been one of the best experiences educationally and formationally for me.” —Daniel Tong, Class of 2025

We believe that life and career preparation are about more than just acquiring skills—they're about answering a higher calling. Our approach to career and life preparation is both interdisciplinary and deeply personal, recognizing that each individual's journey is unique and multifaceted.

Central to our understanding of vocation is the recognition of our role as image-bearers, tasked with expressing Christ's preeminence in every aspect of our lives. Whether in the classroom, the workplace, or the community, we strive to embody the values of faith, integrity, and excellence, knowing that our ultimate aim is to glorify God in all that we do.

Armed with a strong foundation in their chosen fields and a deep sense of purpose, Covenant graduates are equipped to engage with and impact culture in meaningful ways, bringing light to the darkness and hope to the brokenness of the world.

“Covenant College creates a community in which young Christians are able to be developed through wise counsel. Whether it’s a local pastor, professor, coach or faculty member, each impacted my spiritual formation consistently and faithfully. The cultivation of my faith at Covenant has been a blessing and will undoubtedly have lasting eternal value.” —Jacob Sitton, Class of 2025.
