  Although members of the Christian religion may apply to any college that holds their major or area of interest, some religious students choose to apply to traditionally Christian colleges. These colleges have facilities such as chapels and campus ministries, working to involve students in furthering their religious studies along with non-Christian related majors such as accounting or marketing. Christian colleges have specialty majors as well, such as bible studies or ministry, where students can begin studying for a career devoted to the church.
