There is a small number of conservative colleges in the United States. Many feature lower tuition, non-tenured faculty, emphasis on merit, and conservative student bodies. Examples include:
- Grove City College - 600 students per grade, the finest conservative college in science-related fields or business; maintains a 50%-50% male-female ratio[1]
- Liberty University - 3000 students per grade, "the largest and fastest growing Christian Evangelical university in the world"
- Patrick Henry College - 80 students per grade, the finest conservative college for debate,[2] good political connections for internships

- Franciscan University at Steubenville - largest conservative Catholic college
- Benedictine College
- King's College in New York City - located in the Empire State Building
- United States Coast Guard Academy - more Christian than most Christian colleges
- University of Dallas

- Hillsdale College[3] - known for its free-market economics department
- Newberry College - welcomes homeschoolers on its website and is located in conservative South Carolina

- Wheaton College (Wheaton, Illinois)
- Claremont McKenna College (Claremont, California)
