About
Perched atop scenic Lookout Mountain, Georgia, Covenant College is a premier Christian liberal arts institution affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America, best known for its rigorous integration of faith and learning under the motto "In all things Christ preeminent." The college features highly regarded programs in biology (including a robust pre-medical track), education, and business, all of which challenge students to examine their fields through a distinctively biblical worldview. Students experience a vibrant, Christ-centered campus culture anchored by a unique residence hall system that fosters deep community, alongside immediate access to outdoor recreation like hang gliding and rock climbing. A defining highlight of the student experience is living in the iconic, castle-like Carter Hall, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Tennessee Valley while keeping students just minutes away from internships and culture in nearby Chattanooga.
