Higher education fulfills an important role in establishing an educated citizenry to support democracy. Recognizing the breadth of perspectives among faith communities on culture, this study considered the development of civic values among graduates of CCCU institutions, a subset of U.S. higher education. The purpose of this study was to examine the levels of civic values among students attending CCCU institutions and identify experiences that contribute to the growth of these outcomes. The study answered the following questions: (a) Among students attending CCCU institutions, how does the pre-college level of civic values change during the 4 years of college? (b) What collegiate characteristics and experiences predict students' civic values among students at CCCU institutions? This quantitative study used responses from HERI's College Senior Survey from 1,432 students attending 25 different CCCU institutions. Correlational and inferential analyses were used to examine the development of civic values. Longitudinal measures revealed CCCU students made significant gains in civic values during college. Furthermore, results indicated specific patterns of student input characteristics and college experiences that contributed to the growth of students' civic values. Findings revealed students' pre-college civic values were the greatest predictor of senior year levels, and women tended to have significantly lower civic values then men. A variety of collegiate experiences tended to have a significant influence on the development of civic outcomes. The frequency of several religious experiences influenced the civic development of students: how often a student discussed religion, frequency of attending religious services, and amount of time a student spent in prayer and meditation. Community service connected to a specific course, completing an ethnic studies course, and student-faculty interaction each influenced students' civic values development. Students who performed volunteer work unrelated to coursework also tended to have increased civic values compared to students who did not volunteer. Students who participated in diversity awareness workshops or ethnic student organizations experienced gains in civic outcomes.
