To be considered for the ranking schools had to be accredited by the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) or a member/affiliate of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). This best value ranking seeks to focus on the overall educational value offered by Christian institutions without letting the financials completely determine the matter, said Michael Templeton, Editor of Christian Universities Online. The idea is to help prospective students and their parents find the very best Christian schools at the very best price. This requires looking beyond the sticker price to the net cost, which is often significantly lower, as well as considering the quality of a schools reputation and educational experience.

The site publishes rankings and reviews of the best Christian colleges and universities, information about Christian scholarships and financial aid, and many other resources for finding, getting into, and paying for a quality Christian education.
