Presbyterian college

I recently applied to a Presbyterian college because it has an excellent nursing program. Being a WELS Lutheran, is it wrong to affiliate with them? I wouldn't conform to their beliefs but just go for the program.

It would not be wrong to affiliate with them unless you compromise your faith or ignore biblical fellowship principles.

It can often be the case that a college or university has its roots in a Christian denomination, but the institution has become a thoroughly secular institution over time. You would want to find out if there is any part of your prescribed curriculum or student life that would put you into situations where you would be forced to compromise your faith or violate biblical fellowship principles.

If a person is simply interested in receiving an education at a college with a different religious affiliation in exchange for tuition, and there are no concerns like those listed above, then enrollment in that school is possible.

God’s blessings on your preparation for your chosen vocation!
