Christian Higher Education after the Millenium

Abstract

In the international discourse universities connected with different churches are scored as “private” institutions. Thus  it is difficult to characterise them. We can detect only  the “Christian” and “Catholic” universities, with their  special and defined mission. In Hungary these kinds of institutions are recorded as “universities sustained by  churches” with special legal and financial circumstances.  They represent relatively precisely the social status of  religious people, and add some interesting value to the  whole system of higher education.
