Clearwater Christian College School Description

Located on a 138 acre property on Tampa Bay, Clearwater Christian College is home to over 600 undergraduate students pursuing a distinct Bible-based Christian education in a liberal arts environment. In the summer 2008, the College began its first graduate program in the area of Educational Leadership. We are regionally accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). The college is not affiliated with any major denominational groups, adhering solely to the fundamental truths found in the Word of God.

Clearwater Christian College exists to provide an excellent liberal arts education centered on God's Word, with a focus on challenging students to love God wholly, to know Him intimately, and to serve Him fervently; educating men and women to minister faithfully and humbly with evangelistic zeal as they impact eternity for Jesus Christ in every avenue of life.

In fulfillment of our mission, Clearwater Christian College provides an education that values scholarship, discipleship, and servant-leadership. We desire that our students seek truth through the light of the holy scriptures and have a deep and abiding love relationship with their Saviour. From this relationship comes not just an obligation to serve God and mankind but a passion to impact the world for eternity. These core values are delivered in carefully orchestrated objectives that are communicated from faculty-to our students-to those God leads into their lives.

Clearwater Christian College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Clearwater Christian College (CCC) is a non-denominational Christian college in Clearwater, Florida on Tampa Bay. The school has an enrollment around six hundred students. Clearwater Christian College was founded in 1966. CCC has majors in the divisions of Biblical Studies, Humanities, Business, Education, Fine Arts, and Sciences, for a total of thirty different majors. The current president of CCC is Richard Stratton.

Student Life

Clearwater Christian College is comprised of roughly 80% residence hall students and 20% commuters, and there are a variety of student activities and organizations for all students to participate in. There are Greek letter organizations, student government, intramural sports, fine arts groups, yearbook, political club, a student newspaper, and other opportunities.

The CCC intercollegiate athletics teams have been very successful in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Division II. The womens volleyball team has won eight national titles, including a three-peat during 2006, 2007, and 2008.

Clearwater is a conservative college and maintains student guidelines that include a modest dress code, prohibition on facial hair for men unless married, limited physical contact between the sexes, and daily chapel attendance. Student rooms are inspected for cleanliness, and a white glove inspection is performed once a semester. The college uses a combination of demerits, fines, and other procedures to discipline students when rules are broken. However, it is generally regarded as a much more relaxed environment than other fundamentalist Christian colleges or universities such as Pensacola Christian College and Bob Jones University.

Academics

CCC is known as a Christ-centered liberal arts college with a general education curriculum in the arts and sciences plus an embedded Bible minor. The most popular majors are business, elementary education, and general studies, but there has been increasing demand for the programs in the division of science: biology, pre-med, exercise and sport science, psychology, and mathematics. Education majors earn Florida state certification. The interdisciplinary studies major is available for students who wish to focus on two academic disciplines without having to assume the coursework of a double major.

Question: How good is Clearwater christian college?

Is it a good Christian college to go to? And how strict is it compared to Pensacola Christian college?

Best Answer

I can't speak about the college itself, however, they are regionally accredited, which means that if you don't like it there--their credits will transfer to most public or private institutions. CollegeSource.org is a reputable website used by most universities and has additional information on them: http://www.collegesource.org/displayinfo/profile.asp?institutionid=17792
