One of the key distinctives of Covenant’s faculty is their keen attention to teaching students. What happens between professors and students, inside but also outside the classroom, is central and crucial for our mission, and Covenant alumni almost universally report that relationships with faculty members are at the top of the list of the most meaningful and transformative aspects of their college experience.

At the same time, we recognize that effective teaching rests, in significant measure, on effective and energetic scholarship. Our faculty’s ongoing scholarly inquiry necessarily and fruitfully informs the education Covenant students receive, as our faculty guides them in thoughtfully and biblically engaging current issues and conversations. While the majority of Covenant’s graduates will enter vocations other than academic, they will do so understanding the big questions of the whole range of intellectual pursuits and equipped to respond with Christian minds and hearts as those questions inevitably connect at vital points with their various life paths.

Not only does our faculty’s scholarship profoundly shape and bless our students, but it also reaches out beyond our campus as an exciting and important extension of Covenant College. Click to continue »
