If you’re a parent or a student who’s looking for a good conservative college, Young America’s Foundation has done the research for you. On their website, YAF has compiled a comprehensive list of the top conservative schools.

The College of the Ozarks is a unique Christian Work College with about 1,400 students, located in Point Lookout, Missouri. Dubbed as “Hard Work U.” by The Wall Street Journal, it has a special work-study program in which students work in lieu of paying tuition.
Colorado Christian University
Colorado Christian University (CCU) educates approximately 1000 students (plus 3500 in their adult and graduate programs) in beautiful Lakewood, Colorado. The university offers 26 undergraduate majors and numerous graduate programs. Since 2006, when former U.S. Senator Bill Armstrong started as president of CCU, the college has seen dramatic improvement in its conservative infrastructure—both inside and outside of the curriculum.

Comments
Here’s a copy of a note I sent to the YAF on their site:
Re your article on conservative colleges, did you look at John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas? See the “U.S. News and World Report’s America’s Best Colleges” 2012 edition: “JBU was ranked first out of 99 schools in the Southern regional college category. The factors considered by the rankings include (among other factors): peer assessment, freshmen retention, class size, student/faculty ratio, percentage of full time faculty, SAT/ACT scores, freshman high school class rankings, acceptance rate and alumni giving.”
JBU’s press release can be found at:

I was graduated from JBU in the 1970s. I am certain that it is larger and better equipped than when I was there, but even then it had a good selection of courses. The campuse included a nice mix of traditional old architecture as well as modern buildings, all located in a lovely small town.
JBU should certainly be included on any list of good conservative colleges.
