  3. Patrick Henry College - 80 students per grade, the finest conservative college for debate,[3] good political connections for internships when there is a Republican President
  4. Thomas Aquinas College - 90 students per grade,[4] highest SAT scores of conservative colleges (particularly verbal); rigorous "old books" curriculum with only one major; many grads join religious orders
  5. Christendom College - 100 students per grade, the entire school participates in the annual March for Life; good proximity to D.C.
  6. Franciscan University at Steubenville - at 600 students per grade, it is the largest conservative Catholic college; 60%:40% women-to-men ratio[5]
  7. King's College in New York City - 60 students per grade, located in the Empire State Building; reportedly attracts less conservative students[6]
  8. United States Coast Guard Academy - more Christian than most Christian colleges
  9. Ave Maria University - increased to 300 students per grade; many scholarships, particularly for veterans; located in a remote area of southern Florida
  10. Bob Jones University - Republican presidential candidates speak here to win support in South Carolina; long tradition of welcoming homeschoolers
  11. Hillsdale College[7] - known for its free-market economics department
  12. Newberry College - welcomes homeschoolers on its website and is located in conservative South Carolina
  13. Brigham Young University - the largest private university in the nation with more than 30,000 students,[8] this college has several branches and is affiliated with the Mormon Church

  15. Evangel University- a private Christian university affiliated with the Assemblies of God; located in Springfield, Missouri.
  16. University of Dallas - 300 students per grade, a Catholic school not quite as traditional as others on this list

The Princeton Review also lists these colleges as conservative,[9] but there are reasons to doubt that claim:

  1. Hampden-Sydney College (Hampden-Sydney, Virginia)
  2. College of the Ozarks (Point Lookout, Missouri)
  3. Wheaton College (Wheaton, Illinois) - leads some Bible translation projects, including the NIV, the discredited TNIV, and a new one in progress
  4. Claremont McKenna College (Claremont, California)
