Intentional students with a desire to live out their faith through vocation, community, church, and home seek a Covenant College education. All disciplines are taught from a comprehensive Christian worldview by faculty devoted to excellence in their teaching. Students, faculty, and staff genuinely care about each other's spiritual, intellectual, and social growth. The core curriculum demands that students study their culture and how to engage it from a Christian perspective.

More than 1,250 students from around the country and the world are enrolled, working through a rigorous academic program in the Reformed Christian tradition administered by approximately 60 full-time faculty members. Nearly 90 percent of professors have earned doctorates or terminal degrees in their fields. The college ranks among the top ten Southern comprehensive colleges and top ten Best Values in the same field in the 2007 U.S. News & World Report college survey.

Under the motto, "In all things Christ preeminent," Covenant offers the Master of Education, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Organizational Management, Bachelor of Science, and Associate of Arts degrees as well as several pre-professional programs.
