Here are some basics: Historic Church Documents at Reformed.org

Remember that Confessions of Faith, Catechisms etc are merely organizing what a group of believers agree that the Scriptures promote.

See I am looking to transfer to another college and two that I have looked at in my state are Presbyterian and I wonder if they view those views strongly as I am Southern Baptist ( and happen to NOT be reformed).

It depends on what Presbyterian denomination over sees the school. I see that your in GA, if your looking at Covenant College (which is PCA) then all the staff and faculty are required to subscribe to the Westminster Confession. So they are not going push anything that is not Reformed. People from other denomination would be welcome but one must realize that when it comes to Bible ect you will be taught from a exclusively Reformed perspective.

Would you mind telling us the names of the schools? That will let us give you more specifics. There's quite a range of groups called Presbyterian at the moment, and schools have varying degrees of commitment to their denomination.

Covenant College and Agnes Scott

 

[Nova Scotian Boy]

I have not heard of Agnes Scott before. I have already spoken on Covenant. Agnes Scott is PCUSA while Covenant is PCA which is more conservative of the two. Hedrick is PCUSA and might no more on Agnes Scott. I do not think you would be ostracized for being SBC in either schools, as your by far not the first, but you also have to remember your at Presbyterian school and you will be taught from that perspective.

I recommend becoming familiar with The Westminster Confession of Faith: Confession and Catechisms

It is the primary statement of faith in all Presbyterian Churches.

What might be more important, is whether or not you are conservative or liberal in theology, and whether the schools are more conservative or liberal, individuals and professors may vary, but for example, a conservative school is more likely to have a greater number of instructors with conservative views etc.
