Covenant College is a private, liberal arts, Christian college in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, United States, located near Chattanooga, Tennessee. As the college of the Presbyterian Church in America, Covenant teaches subjects from a Reformed theological worldview. Approximately 1,000 students attend Covenant each year.
This is a strong option for students seeking a tight-knit Reformed Christian liberal arts education — with only 858 undergrads, you'll get real community, and the $19,000 median debt at graduation is genuinely manageable. The 72% graduation rate is worth watching, though the 87% freshman retention suggests most students who stay past year one do finish. Median earnings of $46,700 a decade out are modest, so if maximizing income is the priority, this college's value is more about faith formation and academic community than career earnings.
