| Abstract | Religious life offices at private secular universities throughout the United States seek to assist the religious and spiritual development of an increasingly diverse student population. As higher education has become available to more than just Christian males, college student populations are increasingly composed of students with diverse array of religious and areligious systems of belief. Through website analysis and interviews with leaders of religious life offices, this study seeks to understand how religious life offices are organized to intentionally contribute to students’ religious and spiritual development. This study identifies two dominant organizational models of religious life offices. Differences between models hinge upon whether an office relies solely on external groups to provide religious services to students or has internal religious advisors available to specific faith groups. |
