Abstract

[Focusing on the situation in the United States, this chapter describes both (1) strengths and (2) weaknesses of the current pentecostal higher education scene. Among the notable strengths within pentecostal higher education are the teaching of theology and other ministry-related subjects, commendable performances on various regional rankings, and offering their students a holistic education. However, pentecostal colleges and universities in America are less strong in teaching subjects like the natural sciences, and their academic performance as measured by various national rankings is generally lower than that of their (post)secular and evangelical counterparts. In addition, limited access to funds can be a real challenge, especially for some of the smaller pentecostal schools.]
