title: The effect of spirituality and campus ministry on academic accomplishment in college students.
abstract: In this experiment the effect of spirituality and campus ministry involvement on academic accomplishment was studied. It was hypothesized that students who scored higher on the Index ofCore Spiritual Experiences, hereafter known as the INSPIRIT, taken from Measures of Religiosity (Hill, 1999), and who were more involved in campus ministry activities, would have higher grade point averages. A total of 247 Marist College sophomores and juniors were administered a questionnaire that contained the INSPIRIT and a list of campus ministry activities. The students were asked to fill out both sections and provide other information such as GPA, graduation year, and gender. Based on the replies, the researchers scored the INSPIRIT and rated the students involvement in campus ministry activities. The information was then entered into the computer and a correlation study was performed.
