The Value of a Lutheran College Education

In 1998 and in 2004, 39 Lutheran colleges sponsored a major, nationwide research project to access the educational effectiveness of Lutheran colleges in comparison to other sectors of higher education. The studies show the numerous strengths of Lutheran colleges, including four-year graduation rate (at Gustavus the rate is 80%), small class sizes, having a sense of community, and integrating values and ethics into classroom discussions.
