  College is an essential experience for everyone who is thinking about furthering their education and finding a career path that they've been imagining. When trying to find a college or university to go to, the initial step is to find a major of study to focus on. The second thing to keep in mind is religious affiliations. Numerous private colleges and some universities are connected with a specific faith, which attract many pupils that are searching for a school that provides a strong connection to a particular faith. There are also schools for those who are interested in becoming a pastor, youth leader, or work in another aspect of ministry.
  
  Christian private colleges offer students with a fresh approach to their studies and include many campus groups that promote the Christian faith. Bible study groups and other organizations on campus take the religion very seriously, making college the best place for people to remain connected with their religious beliefs. In some cases these universities are not accredited, which means that pupils can only receive a certification of study instead of an actual degree. Lots of companies try to find someone with a degree from an accredited institution instead of a certification-- unless of course, the person is applying for a position with a church or religious organization, or is considering furthering their education. Thankfully, though, some Christian universities are accredited and offer students the option to choose their degree or certification route.
  
  Many times Christian private colleges will eventually achieve an accreditation. When this takes place, the private college becomes a public university and receives government funding for their educational programs. Once they become a Christian university, the school goes from being a college to a university and provides more areas of study. Instead of focusing on the religious paths that were once the foundation of the school, they start to provide programs like business administration, education, and social work on top of majors like bible ministries, biblical studies, pastoral ministries, and youth ministries. They also offer graduate degrees for students that wish to further their studies christian music universities at a Christian university.
  
  Because the school has obtained university status, sports teams are also affected. When the school was just a college, they only competed with other Christian colleges. With university status, all the sports teams compete with other universities depending on their division level. Smaller sized universities and private colleges contend in division III sports whereas bigger universities and private colleges contend on the division I level.
  
  Christian universities also provide college gap year programs for students to truly experience all that the world has to offer. These programs consist of internships and study abroad options to students. By traveling, students gain a much better appreciation for different cultures while focusing on their degree. Many students that take an internship abroad gain real-world work experience and discover what they wish to do after graduation while having an awesome line to put on their resume. Students that study abroad with college gap year programs have the opportunity to learn from a school in a new country.
