This study examined the influence of college environment and classification on religious orientation. The current study compared private, religious versus public, nonreligious college students to determine if there was a difference over time and environment in religious orientation, as measured by the Religious Orientation Scale. The results indicated that there was a significant effect of environment on the intrinsic religious orientation score. No significant difference was found between classifications of students on the intrinsic religious orientation score. The interaction of classification and environment did not have a significant effect on the intrinsic religious orientation score. The results and directions for future research are discussed.
