With the Delta variant moving rapidly through the campus of Liberty University and Cedarville University, we thought we would check-in on some other Christian colleges and universities to see how things are going. (NOTE: Some of these campuses started classes yesterday). Most of these schools do not publish vaccination rates on campus. I would be happy to update this list if an official from one of these schools contacts me with their vaccination rates. For now, we have only found vaccination rates for Messiah, John Brown, Wheaton, and Baylor.
Here is the state of COVID-19 at some Christian colleges:
