• In Event: Issues in Faith-Based Education

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to explore the factors associated with the perception of doctoral program students on faith integration, and it is also to determine a feasible plan in integrating faith with rigorous academic programs at faith-based universities in a manner that will utilize faculty expertise and require student participation and accountability. Sixty five doctoral program students in a faith-based university participated in the study. Three underlying factors were extracted through Exploratory Factor Analysis. A multiple regression was utilized for each factor to examine its predictor variables. Implications and recommendations on research and practice were discussed.
