None of the listed schools appear to be universities or public higher education institutions. As such, they may be very expensive and limited in their capacity to provide many options insofar as major fields and broad learning experiences are concerned. There are excellent conservative universities such as Texas A&M that do so and are likely much cheaper to boot.

Bummer that the conservative colleges tend to be liberal arts. My kids want hard science and/or engineering. Yet, they need the same grounding in faith and western civilization as the liberal arts students.

With regard to the possible lack of emphasis on science, math, or engineering, a further check on the web page of Hillsdale, for instance, reveals quite a selection of choices, including pre-med, etc.

The in-depth study of the principles underlying our Constitution offered by Hillsdale might far outweigh any perceived "advantages" of other schools whose claim to "conservative" may rely on the fact that they may not be as liberal as their counterparts. Others on this list may have similar courses.

Would suggest that parents and students experience some of Hillsdale's online courses in the Constitution before they rule it out of their consideration for attendance.

Someone else has pointed out that scholarships may offset costs to schools whose leaders have refused to be a part of "government" control (such as Grove City).

Please note that loveliberty2 has absolutely no connection to either school--just observing that in a day when America's Constitution is under attack, and its founding principles of liberty so little understood, that there is a critical need for youth to be taught the ideas essential to liberty. If they do not understand those, then their future careers in other fields may be useless.

"Since private and publick Vices, are in Reality, though not always apparently, so nearly connected, of how much Importance, how necessary is it, that the utmost Pains be taken by the Publick, to have the Principles of Virtue early inculcated on the Minds even of children, and the moral Sense kept alive, and that the wise institutions of our Ancestors for these great Purposes be encouraged by the Government. For no people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders." Samuel Adams - Letter to James Warren, November 4, 1775

I think there is a certain amount of mythos involved in universities being leftist. My daughter is a devout christian and graduated from Columbia. She still attends church and told me none of her professors ever attacked her beliefs. She is in Columbia's nursing school at present.

Now, I can see and hear and many of the rioters in Ferguson and New York are liberal products of schools of higher education.
