State Baptist colleges recognized

Five schools of higher education in Alabama have been designated among only 96 schools in the country meeting the requirements to be recognized as “America’s Best Christian Colleges.”

Judson College in Marion, the University of Mobile and Spring Hill College in Mobile and Samford University and Birmingham-Southern in Birmingham made the list.

Samford, Judson and the University of Mobile are Alabama’s only Baptist-affiliated institutions. The list recognizes colleges and universities providing the highest quality in education in a Christian environment, according to Lewis T. Lindsey Jr., president of Institutional Research & Evaluation Inc.

Schools are chosen from a national survey of 1,512 institutions.
