Pursuing Knowledge Transformed by Faith

Choosing a college can be a daunting task: what is most important about the college experience? Is it the people? The academics? The community beliefs? The location?

We want to make your decision easier—see below what makes Covenant so special.

The Covenant Experience
Picture yourself on a mountaintop next to our castle in the clouds…  All around you are breathtaking views. Below is the exciting city of Chattanooga, and beside you is the beautiful chapel building pointing towards the sky symbolizing our focus on Christ. And everywhere you look are people who want to impact you, guide you, support you, pray for you, love you, and equip you with what you need to pursue a successful life and career with godly purpose. This is the Covenant experience.

PURPOSEFUL EDUCATION
Covenant’s rigorous and courageous education is guided by Christian faculty with degrees from prestigious universities. With 38 academic majors, pre-professional programs, and certificate opportunities, we provide a variety of academic paths. All students complete a capstone project, the culmination and reflection of research skills guided by faculty mentors.

SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION
We believe true spiritual growth comes from encountering Jesus as a community. From chapel to classroom, from dorms to athletic fields, you will find spiritual enrichment throughout your Covenant experience as faculty, staff, and peers disciple each other and grow together.

CAREER PREPARATION
We equip you to pursue meaningful work by helping you find your calling, apply your talents, build a network, and develop skills to excel. We connect students with internships and job opportunities and coach them through each step of the job application process.

How might the Covenant experience change each year?

Whether you enter the laboratory, the classroom, the courtroom, whether you rear children or serve as an accountant, you go into your work not as a distraction from your faith but as a vital expression of it.
