  • 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.
