Hillsdale was founded Baptist (I hand an ancestor who was a Baptist minister in Michigan who had a bit part in the founding).

Send your kids for sciences and engineering and only schools that take sciences and engineering seriously.

The Arts? Take a class at your local junior college after you’ve got a good constructive REAL job.

If you want a research-oriented college/university, TAMU is the best on this list, with BYU second. These are also the only two schools on the list with Division 1 intercollegiate athletics.

If you’re ever vacationing in Branson MO, you can eat at the student-operated Keeter Center at College of the Ozarks. Great food, and the kids get to keep their tips.

I agree. Biblical Studies can only “far” in life. As a prereq, Ok fine. I had to take an American Literature module just to go into basic Accounting (which is a head scratcher) at Stanford but it is what it is. The good part was there were lots of hot chicks in the class..

Can’t help but say that I have a son and a daughter that graduated from Texas A & M in College Station. Sons in business for himself and daughter is a CPA/Controller for a restaurant chain.

Both Christendom and TAC grads have gone on to graduate schools in STEM. There is nothing wrong with getting a solid liberal arts education. If you just want a job, then by all means live off campus and just take STEM courses somewhere. I have a political science & economics degree, and it hasn't stopped me from having a full career in IT. Nor has it stopped the Philosophy, Humanities, Sociology, English and History majors I have known in my career.

A good education in the Liberal Arts is still a good education, and is closer to what the Founding Fathers had. Education can be a good in and of itself, and not just a job training program.

Texas Tech is more conservative than a&m.

The article didn’t mention Point Loma Nazarene University but it is quite selective and has a 90% medical school acceptance rate! It also has a gorgeous campus overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Cool. I never attended Hillsdale but I was fortunate to live in Hillsdale, Michigan for a time when I was younger. Beautiful place!

Ave Maria University was founded by Dominoes Pizza founder Tom Monaghan. He experienced some sort of Catholic epiphany, sold the Detroit Tigers and his Ann Arbor mansion, and began building the school.

I agree we know to know where Western Civilization came From including arts of Ancient Rome and Greece and the renaisNce. Problem is your particular school may require a class in maplethorpe. There must be a happy medium with no perversions like him or even Picasso

Picasso never showed a version of Guernica where they explained the thousands of Catholic nuns and priests defiled then executed by the Marxist

Wow, two Church of Christ (American Restorationist Movement) schools in the top 20. Happy to hear it.

I’ve never been to Hillsdale—my most recent ancestress from MI headed out to Dakota territory about 1885.

The Monaghan legend grows.

He’d sold the Tigers some years before he started something up in Michigan, then got into a zoning fight in Ypsilanti, and eventually decided to ditch Michigan for Florida.

I’ve been in this wing of Catholic higher ed for a couple of decades, and know the six Catholic schools on the list fairly well.

Monaghan knows how to market pizza, but otherwise tends to micro-manage—which, if it’s your money, you may be able to do, but the results and process sometimes are sub-optimal.

When it comes to public universities Alabama and Auburn are pretty conservative. I am a Bama fan but will give Auburn recognition for being every bit as conservative as Bama.

Though a College Republicans chapter exists on the BYU campus, the club has recently been demoted to informal status. While the club is allowed to exist on campus and use BYU's name, it no longer receives funds from the University.

Not surprised..................
