<p>I'm relatively early on in the college search and looking for a Christian college known for its math program. Everyone tells me that academics and Christian schools don't go hand-in-hand, but I don't think this is the case!</p>
<p>I'm also on the scholarship hunt and hope to stay within a day's drive of where I live in Pennsylvania. </p>
<p>But math is at the crux of my search.</p>
<p>If you want to stay close to home, I’d probably recommend Grove City College. They have a decent math department and they have some terrific professors. Academically, they are strong, I believe.</p>
<p>That was my son’s #1 Christian college way back when, but it turns out he did too much college math during high school and one of the profs at Grove City suggested he look for a secular school, so my son will be attending MIT. I have mixed feelings about that but that’s for another post. :-)</p>
<p>They don’t offer much in the way of scholarships. Your best bet would be outside scholarships (National Merit, Coca-Cola, specialty scholarships, etc).</p>
<p>I’m an '02 alum of Grove City College; was a Math + Computer Science major. GCC offers an excellent education, and your peers are good as well (note avg. test scores), which allows the teaching to rise to a higher level of course.</p>
<p>The preparation I received there equipped me for all aspects of life, not just work. I developed spiritually and intellectually there. Classmates were supportive and although there is always the rowdy bunch social life was wholesome and faith affirming. Since then I’ve had a great career, now back at at school working on the Ph.D.!</p>
<p>There is not much to do in Grove City, which may be one reason students are so focused on their studies. I did commute to Pittsburgh for a while for an internship; I don’t particularly recommend doing that in the winter, the interstate can be quite bad with the snow (but I’ve lived in Hawaii for a few years so I’m spoiled…)</p>
