The Best Christian Colleges in Massachusetts
Boston Baptist CollegeLocation: Hyde Park, MA
From the institution: “At Boston Baptist College, we believe college should not simply be a time for mental growth, but also for spiritual growth. We believe education and biblical spirituality can and should walk hand-in-hand. For this reason, everything we do is carefully sifted through our institutional mission: Think Biblically. Discover Globally. Impact Eternally.”
Boston CollegeLocation: Chestnut Hill, MA
From the institution: “Grounded in the ideals that inspired our Jesuit founders, Boston College urges students to look inward but always to reach out—to develop their minds and talents to the fullest and use them in service to others. Boston College builds upon its traditions. It seeks to be the national leader in the liberal arts; to fulfill its Jesuit, Catholic mission of faith and service; to continue to develop model programs to support students in their formation; and to seek solutions—as researchers, educators, leaders, and caregivers—that directly address the world’s most urgent problems.”
Eastern Nazarene CollegeLocation: Quincy, MA
From the institution: “Eastern Nazarene College is a fully accredited Christian liberal arts college and member of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) with approximately 1,000 students distributed across residential undergraduate, graduate, and adult studies programs. Nestled in a residential neighborhood minutes from downtown Boston, the college’s picturesque New England campus is a window into the world. While our faculty are leaders in their fields, actively involved in publishing and research, they are devoted to teaching and mentoring students in a nurturing, spiritually informed, and academically supportive environment.”
Emmanuel CollegeLocation: Boston, MA
From the institution: “The mission of Emmanuel—and its identity as a Catholic college, university in breadth and inclusive of all— is to provide a dynamic education in the liberal arts and sciences within a learning community shaped by strong ethical values. While much of the world has changed dramatically in the years since the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur first opened the College, Emmanuel’s commitment to rigorous academics, compassionate service and the advancement of justice and peace has never wavered, and it remains as powerful and relevant as ever.”
Gordon CollegeLocation: Wenham, MA
From the institution: “Gordon College is a distinctive blend: an outstanding nationally ranked liberal arts institution that retains its roots in the Christian faith, a strong residential community, and a splendid location—just north of the intellectual hub of Boston, and right near the shoreline of Cape Ann. Our faith is the foundation for all that we are—individually, collectively and institutionally. With a spirit of support and collaboration, we are set free in Christ to think critically, engage new ideas and pursue truth.”
