Originally settled as a refuge for the Quakers who experience religious persecution in England, Pennsylvania still shows evidence of its origins in the Pennsylvania Dutch settlements of quiet people living simple lives with few modern conveniences. Pennsylvanians are accustomed to seeing slow buggies in the countryside in a state that is also home to large cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. In addition to its religious history, Pennsylvania also celebrates its place in American history with such memorials to their role in the making of the country as Gettysburg National Military Park, Valley Forge National Historical Park, Independence National Historical Park.
Pennsylvania’s economy is supported by a thriving steel industry, as well as mining, farming, and manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, processed foods, and electronics. According to Center for Workforce Information and Analysis, Pennsylvania’s High Priority Occupations include managers, engineers, veterinarians, scientists, education administrators and postsecondary instructors, computer programmers, and mental health counselors. All of these positions will require a minimum educational attainment of a Bachelor’s degree.
Getting that degree, or any amount of education necessary to prepare for the future job market, can be done through one of the many quality Christian universities and Bible colleges located in Pennsylvania. These schools offer students a wide range of educational choices from Bachelor’s degrees to graduate degrees. Smaller schools, such as Valley Forge Christian College, offer a concentrated focus on religious studies while larger schools, like Eastern University, offer a wider selection when it comes to courses of study. Both types of schools may offer Bachelor’s degrees as well as graduate level degrees. Choosing to attend a Christian school in Pennsylvania will assure that you receive a good education with fundamentals rooted in your Christian faith.
