  • The Christian College As a Source of Students for Selected Theological Seminaries
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 051 768 HE 002 272 AUTHOR Seaton, Craig E. TITLE The Christian College as a Source of Students for Selected Theological Seminaries. INSTITUTION Biola Coll., La Mirada, Calif. PUB DATE Dec 70 NOTE 19p. ERRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$3.29 DESCRIPTORS *Church Related Colleges, *College Graduates, *Enrollment Trends, *Theological Education ABSTRACT To determine the extent to which the Christian colleges serve as a source of students for selected theological seminaries in the United States, seminary catalogs with student rosters were obtained from 11 seminaries. Those included were: Gordon, Grace, Dallas, Fuller, Western Baptist, Talbot, Trinity, Eastern Baptist, Calvin, Princeton, and Bethel. The findings indicated that:(1) Christian college graduates tended to attend seminary within the same geographic region as their undergraduate college, though Princeton and Dallas drew their students from all areas of the country; (2) Christian colleges affiliated with seminaries tended to be the greatest source of Christian college graduates for that seminary;(3) Bible colleges produced a surprisingly high percentage of the total enrollment of the seminaries;(4) several seminaries received a substantial percentage (over 30 percent) of their students from the public sector; and (5) Christian colleges supplied 43 percent of the seminarians to these seminaries.

    Lilly Network of Church-Related Colleges and Universities The Lilly Network of Church-Related Colleges and Universities was established in 1991 to strengthen the quality and shape the character of church-related higher learning by developing leaders for church-related colleges and universities and providing opportunities for conversation about church-related higher learning. Network members represent a diversity of denominational traditions, institutional types, and geographical locations. Financial support for Network activities comes from an annual membership fee for Network schools that ranges from $2,000 to $6,500 annually, depending on the size of the institution. Along with Postdoctoral and Graduate Fellowships, the Network sponsors a variety of activities to achieve its goals. Member schools participate in sustained conversation on church-related higher education through opportunities: to send two members of the campus community to attend the annual Lilly Network National Conference with all expenses paid except transportation. to send campus leaders to the annual Workshop for Senior Administrators completely free of charge (including travel). to nominate up to three of their graduating seniors or recent alums for the Lilly Graduate Fellows Program. Lilly Graduate Fellows will receive three annual $3,000 stipends for use at the Fellows’ discretion. to apply for faculty development grants ranging from $1,500 to $12,000. to apply for grants to sponsor Network-funded academic programs that serve faculty from many campuses, including Regional Collaborations and Conferences, Network Exchanges, and Summer Seminars. to send faculty to any of these programs held on other Network campuses. to nominate a member of your faculty for the biennial Arlin G.
