As such, Covenant stands in the Reformed and Presbyterian traditions. Academics The college offers Associate of Arts, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, and Master of Education degrees, and several pre-professional programs. The college also has two adult education programs, Quest (established 1984)[citation needed] and The Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education (BSECE), a degree completion program in early childhood education for professionals. In addition, Covenant is home to the Chalmers Center for Economic and Community Development (established 1999), which offers courses and programs in community and economic development in the urban United States and throughout the developing world.[citation needed] Covenant's faculty is composed of 58 full-time teaching faculty members, 88% of whom hold doctorates or terminal degrees in their fields. The student-faculty ratio is 14:1.[citation needed] The college has over 5,000 alumni living both in the United States and abroad. Alumni are employed in a variety of fields, such as education, ministry, music, business, the military, science, and journalism. Over 60% of graduates go on to earn graduate degrees.[citation needed] The college has been accredited since 1971 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).[3] Niel Nielson has been president of Covenant since 2002. The college's previous presidents are Robert G. Rayburn (1955–1965), Marion Barnes (1965–1978), Martin Essenburg (1978–1987) and Frank A. Brock[4](1987–2002). Athletics Covenant has sports teams that compete intercollegiately in men's and women's soccer, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's golf, baseball, softball and women's volleyball. Covenant competes in the Appalachian Athletic Conference and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. College teams are known as the Scots and Lady Scots. Covenant has been accepted for provisional membership in the NCAA Division III. Covenant joined the Great South Athletic Conference in 2010 and began fielding sports in fall 2010.[5] Campus The campus is located at the top of Lookout Mountain in Lookout Mountain, Georgia. Carter Hall Carter Hall is the signature building on campus. It was originally named The Lookout Mountain Hotel and was built in 1928 by Paul Carter, for whom the building is now named. It was popularly known as the "Castle in the Clouds." However, since it was completed less than a year before the Great Depression, the hotel soon went bankrupt. It opened and closed several times prior to 1960, when it shut down for the last time. Bill Brock, the grandfather of the college's fourth president, Frank Brock, served on the original board of the hotel.[6] Both the exterior and interior of Carter Hall are Austro-Bavarian Gothic revival in style. The building has had two towers in its history. The first tower was similar in design to the Frauenkirche (Cathedral of Our Lady) in Munich. Poor maintenance before acquisition by the college required it to be rebuilt. The new tower, though considerably simpler in style, maintains the architectural style of the original tower.[citation needed] Covenant College bought the building in 1964, upon relocating to Lookout Mountain, Georgia. During the first few years of Covenant's operation on the mountain, all the functions of the college were contained within Carter Hall. At that time, it housed the chapel, the library, the classrooms, the professors' offices, and all of the dorm rooms, as well as the dining hall and administrative offices, which are still located there today.[citation needed] The current halls of Carter are 5th North and South (women's), 4th North, Central and South (women's), 3rd Central and South (women's), 2nd Central and South (men's), and the Ghetto. Founders Hall Founders Hall contains three wings, each named for members of the founding generation of Covenant College. Belz Hall, the first to be built, was completed in 1972, is named after pastor and Christian educator Max Belz, a member of Covenant College’s original board of trustees. Belz Hall houses approximately 100 students and was originally a men’s dorm. In 1990 and 1993 two new wings were added to the structure, and the building was renamed Founders Residence Hall. Currently the dorm halls for Belz are as follows: Caledon (a women's hall on the main floor), Brethren (a men's hall on the second floor), 1st Belz (a men's hall on the first floor), and Catacombs (a men's floor on the basement level). Schmidt Hall, completed in 1990, is named in honor of Rudy and Collyn Schmidt, co-founders and long-time friends of the college, involved in virtually every dimension of college life since its inception. The dorm halls in Schmidt include Balcony (a women's hall on the fourth floor), Jungle (a women's hall on the main floor), and Blackwatch (a men's hall on the second floor). Rayburn Hall was completed in 1993 and is named for Robert G. Rayburn, the founding president of Covenant College. The dorm halls in Rayburn include Highlands (a women's hall on the fourth floor), Gallery (a women's hall on the main floor), and Rivendell (a men's hall on the second floor). Maclellan/Rymer Hall The Maclellan wing of the hall, built in 1998, was named in honor of the Maclellan Foundation, a longtime supporter of Covenant College. The Rymer wing of the building, completed in 2000, was given by Ann Caudle Rymer and her son, S. Bradford Rymer, Jr. Andreas Hall Andreas Hall, completed in 2007 as part of the BUILD campaign, is located slightly south of Maclellan/Rymer Hall, and is the newest addition to the college's residence halls. It is named for Lowell Andreas, a recent financial supporter of Covenant College. It houses over 100 students and is four stories tall.
