Niche, a university profile site, ranked the universities based on student surveys on their personal political preferences and their perception of campus political preferences.
In a comment to Fox News Digital, Biola University credited the institution remained “committed to the unchanging truths of the Bible” for the ranking.
“As we celebrate America’s semiquincentennial, we are mindful of the key role private faith-based universities like Biola play in preserving and perpetuating our common good, our freedoms and the transcendent virtues that make a nation strong. Biola lives into its mission by integrating Christian faith and biblical truths into academics, student life and cocurricular activities, distinguishing our institution as a leading choice among comprehensively Christian universities,” the statement read.

Among the nation, Biola University was ranked the ninth-best Christian college in America out of 314 and cracked the list of the top 100 best private universities in the country.
