A wide variety of rankings exist for the market of American colleges and universities. Each year, U.S. News & World Report releases its “America’s Best Colleges” edition. The magazine grades each institution based on factors including peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, and student selectivity. Yet, U.S. News does not rank the overall experience that colleges offer. That is why Young America’s Foundation presents the following list of institutions that offer a conservative experience for students. Young America’s Foundation deemed these institutions the best, and they are listed in alphabetical order.

Many conservative students seek alternatives in higher education, but they may not be fully aware of institutions that fit these criteria. The “Top Conservative College” list features institutions that proclaim, through their mission and programs, a dedication to discovering, maintaining, and strengthening the conservative values of their students.

I like Hillsdale. My eldest doesn’t have the grades to go there. We’ll see about the younger one in a couple years.

I know I’m resurrecting an old thread here, but you might want to look into LeTourneau University in Longview, TX. My son is a Freshman studying engineering there and loves it. The school has a very strong faith grounding, including mandatory chapel and Bible classes. RG Letourneau (founder) was nicknamed “God’s businessman,” and held over 200 patents, including the bulldozer and the off-shore oil rig. Don’t let the sticker price shock you, either, as they have a generous scholarship program. In fact, it is cheaper out-of-pocket for my son to go to LETU than it would have been for him to go to Texas A&M in-state.
