How this list is made

  • Schools in South Carolina.
  • Christian undergraduate colleges on the Compass. Seminaries and graduate-only schools are not counted.
  • Faith grade B or better (Faith score 70 or higher). Cost and outcomes never change a grade.
  • Has an admission rate from federal data (College Scorecard). Average SAT scores are shown where the college reports them.
  • Each school needs a complete Compass Score, so every row shows a rating.
  • Ordered by admission rate, lowest first. Selectivity measures demand for places, not the quality of a school’s faith life.
