Religious Universities Analysis
Religious colleges and universities face unique pressures in the enrollment cliff era. Many rely on denominational support, attract niche student populations, or maintain theological commitments that shape curriculum and campus life. This section explores how these schools perform across core health metrics and highlights survivability trends across denominations.
