In a practical sense, though, are you really providing students with a well-rounded education if they are never exposed to anyone with a different background? It would be one thing if they were only awarding degrees in ministry-related majors, but this school has programs in things like business and criminal justice. If someone goes out into the business world assuming that everyone will have a similar mindset, it seems like they'd be, well, a bit naive.

(ETA: I want to be clear this is NOT true of all evangelical Christian schools. I know of others that absolutely hire non-Christians.)

Are they funded largely by the government?

"Well-rounded education" is subjective and relative. The students who attend that school are doing so for reasons beyond being competitive in the world market.

If they have students who are receiving Pell Grants, Federal Student Loans, etc., then I would say probably so.
