If all of the useless majors were eliminated, many colleges would be come a lot more conservative.

Hillsdale is a good bet.

I just took a look at them. Might be the only place I've ever seen that offers rhetoric as a field of study.

Looks like they have several free classes online, too. Might have to watch a few of them in my downtime.

Idk how, but Baylor has somehow become a super lib campus.


During the big SBC fights of the 1980's Baylor chose to break off from SBC support. It was regularly accused of promoting liberalism in its religious teachings.

Dallas Baptist University appears to be fairly solid.

They also have one of the better small-school baseball teams with one of the more unique traditions: when the DFW National Cemetery opened next door, every evening when Taps is played, the game is stopped and everyone remains silent.

STEM type universities tend to be more conservative, while the liberal arts type universities are liberal or radically liberal.

I don't know how this one is but I imagine it is conservative...

“C of O is unique among higher education institutions in America: no tuition is charged, all students work on campus, debt is openly discouraged, and no federal, state or private loans are made.”

I think most universities have their “liberal” departments and “conservative” departments.

At the USNA, there were liberal professors. I did a year at FSU and most of my professors were conservative.

I think it really depends on your major and interest.

Pretty much if you go into the physical sciences, engineering, or agriculture you may avoid most of the issues (except in the handful of core classes you have to take in the other areas).

No matter which of the 57 genders you identify with, and no matter how hardened an atheist you are, 2+2=4, plants need sunlight, water and food, and the volume of a gas is directly proportional to temperature and inversely to pressure.

It's a legitimate institution. I can't tell if it is accredited or not, though.



I know they're a legit long-standing liberal arts college (not that kind of "liberal"). I am sure they are fully accredited. No insult intended.

I don't know their academic reputation. I assume their tuition is pretty high because they accept no state or federal funding.

Very conservative or Mark Levin wouldn't shill for them. Levin seems like a high-character guy, so he probably wouldn't endorse them if at least some of the programs weren't solid. I wonder what the typical career path of a graduate in something like constitutional studies or "the classics" is -- law school or academia, I guess.

Not that they need the money, but I was surprised by how liberal Vanderbilt wasn't. No way I'd put them in the conservative column, but Carol Swain is still a professor there and they don't (or at least they didn't a few years ago) silence opposition speak. My daughter came out fully intact.

They had this "hate crime" incident while she was there, and rather than the "it started a conversation" nonsense, the outrage crew was pretty ruthlessly lampooned in their social media circles. It was a running joke for a while.

Yeah, my son played in a baseball tournament close to there last year. We visited because of the grist mill and loom (actually operating and selling stuff) and ended up taking a tour of the campus.

My son wants to go there because of the farming jobs, lol.

As universities go, Baylor and Samford are still conservative.
As far as student body, Colorado School of Mines. Son said they were too busy studying to worry about radical agendas.

I’ve heard Purdue is pretty conservative for a public university. Mitch Daniels, former Republican Governor, is the President of the system
