Thank you for posting this!

I am happy to see that Harding University, the college my daughter will be attending this Fall, is on the list!

Ping!

Interesting list. It’s unfortunate that students who are not looking for a conservative Protestant or Catholic education are not going to find this list too helpful. Everyone can’t go to Hillsdale U.!

[DesScorp]

The institutions will continue to grow as Christian parents grow weary of the evil taught at places like Ithaca, Berkeley, and even state universities.

My oldest son attends the University of Notre Dame, and I find the quality of the courses offered there in keeping with those offered by the Top Ten colleges. I *love* the place, and can recommend it to anyone. Anyone who can get in, that is - they got almost 14000 applications for this year’s Freshman class. :)

CONSERVATIVE COLLEGE PING

I honestly didn’t think much of Liberty University when I moved to Lynchburg in the mid-90s. But, I’ve come around. The numerous LU grads I’ve met and worked with are great people and well-prepared for the real world. The school has does a lot for the community too. I’m considering sending my kids to their high school (Liberty Christian Academy) when they are old enough. LCA grads get free tuition at LIberty University. Not a bad deal.

Good place to ask this question...

Anyone hear much about Creighton University in Omaha or Drake in Des Moines, Iowa ??

Daughter has visited both and likes them, but now-a-days, it's so hard to really tell from a brief visit and we do not know any recent grads.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated ---- gathering as much info as we can.

She is also looking at Hillsdale....

I'm surprised that Patrick Henry College in VA did not make the cut:

Institutional Mission, Vision, and Distinctives

The Mission of Patrick Henry College is to prepare Christian men and women who will lead our nation and shape our culture with timeless biblical values and fidelity to the spirit of the American founding. Educating students according to a classical liberal arts curriculum, and training them with apprenticeship methodology, the College provides academically excellent baccalaureate level higher education with a biblical world view.

The Vision of Patrick Henry College is to aid in the transformation of American society by training Christian students to serve God and mankind with a passion for righteousness, justice and mercy, through careers of public service and cultural influence.

The Distinctives of Patrick Henry College include practical apprenticeship methodology; a deliberate outreach to home schooled students; financial independence; a general education core based on the classical liberal arts; a dedication to mentoring and discipling Christian students; and a community life that promotes virtue, leadership, and strong, life-long commitments to God, family and society.

I started Distance Learning (online) with Liberty University this past January. I can’t tell you how wonderful it has been.

My last experience was at a local community college where I listened to one professor tell the class that people only become Republicans because they are racist (I dropped that class right away).

At Liberty, not only do I not have to hide my conservatism, I can actually write about those values and still get an “A”!

But the greatest thing by far that Liberty has helped me with is my relationship with the Lord. I am so thankful for that.

I am praying, praying, praying that my girls can go to Franciscan University on Legacy!!!!

Anyone who can add prayers, they would be greatly appreciated!

[Logophile]

Among conservative institutions, Brigham Young University, my alma mater, should rank somewhere in the Top-20.

[FreedomProtector]

Grove City College bump!

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Sounds like a list of the top 10 schools where “you ain’t gettin’ none.”

[RightWhale]

The “great books” of history comprise the entire curriculum of Thomas Aquinas College

Thomas himself would have spent some serious time on the street finding out what the world is about before inhaling the 'great books'. Save TAC for your retirement years.

[Publius Valerius]

I would have liked to have seen my alma mater, Washington & Lee University, to have made the list.

It’s not a Christian school, though, so I suppose that all but rules it out on this list.

[Philistone]

TAC! Didn’t graduate, though.

(One may drink unto the point of hilarity - St. Thomas Aquinas!)

Liberty University?? Jerry Falwell?? Horror of horrors, a university that offers a college education to young Americans based on Christian moral values and free enterprise economic principles, what is this nation coming to?? This outrageous affront to America’s academe cannot be allowed to stand!!
