The current study was formulated as an exploratory study to describe the administrative structure and functional oversight of religious groups on college and university campuses and to see if institutional type affected that relationship. The population of the study included all Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral public and private not-for-profit institutions in the southeastern United States. Survey recipients for this study were student affairs administrators who were most likely to have immediate professional knowledge of the administrative oversight of campus religious groups. This study found that nearly all campuses recognize student religious groups. However, there are distinct and significant differences between the administrative oversight of campus religious groups at public and private colleges and universities
