Conservative, Religious Schools Rate High On List of Best Teaching Colleges
Rating America’s institutions of higher learning has grown into its own cottage industry. Some judge based upon which applicants get in and how many do not. Others analyze and evaluate the party experience at the schools. But the Center for College Affordability and Productivity ranks schools by what should be the most important question. How well do they teach?
Schools are rated by responses to the site Ratemyprofessors.com, which tabulates millions of college students anonymously judging their instructors. Each year, the Center releases a list of the 25 best and worst colleges and universities for teaching based on the results.
The winner for last year actually has topped the survey for three years now. OklahomaWesleyan University placed highest. Its stated mission is to promote the “primacy of Jesus Christ, the Priority of Scripture, the Pursuit of Truth and the Practice of Wisdom.”
Another school of conservative note making the list was College of the Ozarks. This Presbyterian liberal arts school in Missouri charges most students no cash tuition, but does require weekly work on campus.
College of the Ozarks, which has a strong record of “standing up for religious freedom,” also scored well on Young America’s Foundation’s Top Ten Conservative Colleges list. It also made U.S. News and World Report‘s rankings of best value and best colleges in the Midwest
West Point and the United States Air Force Academy also rated very high. These were the only two “elite” institutions to make the cut. No Ivy League student bodies rated their professors well as teachers.
