Association of Reformed Institutions of Higher Education

The Association of Reformed Institutions of Higher Education (ARIHE), recently[when?] renamed Association of Reformed Colleges and Universities,[citation needed] is an affiliate of the International Association for Promotion of Christian Higher Education, as the latter's North American Region. ARIHE's member institutions, all of which belong to the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities,[1] currently include:

  • Calvin University[1] (Grand Rapids, Michigan) is affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church in North America.[citation needed]
  • Covenant College[1] (Lookout Mountain, Georgia) is affiliated with the Presbyterian Church in America.[citation needed]

  • Geneva College[1] (Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania) is affiliated with the Reformed Presbyterian Church in North America.[citation needed]
  • Institute for Christian Studies[1] (Toronto, Ontario) is an independent Christian graduate school in philosophy.

Members of many other denominations are also among this core constituency.[citation needed]
