Why would you go to a liberal arts school for a comp sci/math major?
Hard Work U. (No tuition charged)

Wow, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign meets all of that, except being conservative.
Bummer.
Go to a big school for computer science.
Talk her out of French.
Do not borrow any money to go to college!
Try Hillsdale.
Do not send your kid to college the first year after high school.
Have them get a job, and learn how the real world works. If they insist on going to college, do NOT pay for it.
Afterwards, they can go to college, more mature and more knowledgable of the real world than their peers. And more importantly, they will hopefully be more immune to the liberal indoctrination bullshit thrown at them.
HILLSDALE COLLEGE.
Also, any reputable computer school would do for computers, be just as good, and cost less. Afterwards, they can go to grad school for more advanced stuff, or intern somewhere and actually learn something hands on
Colorado School of Mines, Golden Colorado. Small but very well regarded in science, technology and engineering. Low key and conservative.
I have a few daughters in college currently. One attending Gettysburg College which is a small liberal arts school and fairly conservative on the spectrum of colleges. The key is to find a good fit. Best of luck.
As a Jayhawk, I think it would not hurt to visit that campus although it is not the size described but it does have a broad range of what you have mentioned. I would look at some of the small Iowa liberal arts colleges. My oldest son went to Coe. None of those schools are conservative but they aren’t leftist hotbeds either.
Try to find value, if you can do the community/junior college route then finish the last two years at a four year institution, I would recommend that . Try to avoid as much debt as you can.
College costs have been out of control for a while, there is the beginnings of a correction.
I have a Grandson taking advantage of this attending school at Heidelberg University in Germany.

How US students get a university degree for free in Germany

While the cost of college education in the US has reached record highs, Germany has abandoned tuition fees altogether for German and international students alike. An increasing number of Americans are taking advantage and saving tens of thousands of dollars to get their degrees.

Liberty University, in Lynchburg Virginia
I’d look at a technical institute rather than a university.
I’m saying this and I retired as a full professor at a university. They are not worth the money. They are simply indoctrination centers to create leftist sluts and whore-mongers.

Computer science/programming is a brutal field. Most girls don’t make it because it requires sitting non-stop for 24 hours amongst cans of Pepsi and snicker bars.
I’m acutally not trying to discourage your daughter, just painting the realty. It’s not about brains, it is about having adhd.
I did mechanical engineering and picked up programming on the side. She might want to try something similar - that is, jump into small easy jobs (even web coding) and learn the trade that way on the job. Take junior college classes in her off time to get credentialed. That would allow her to concentrate on liberal arts school while making some scratch.
The comp sci field changes so fast that getting a comp sci degree might not actually prepare her for something useful. The lanuanes I’ve learned are basic, algol, pascal, assembly, Fortran, Cobol, C++, C#, Java, PHP, html, xml, javascript, asp, visual basic, Foxpro, Mysql and some I’ve forgotten. I need to learn Perl, Python and Ruby. OSs DOS, Win 3.2, Window 95,98,2000, 2003, 7, Linux Fedora from 12 to 35.
If you get my drift, it’s a moving target. She’d be better off taking engineering or math or science as second part of her major.
Why on earth did you and she wait until Dec. of her SENIOR year, to start this process, when the usual/normal/correct time to do this was the summer between her Junior and Senior year, with her application being sent in MONTHS ago?
If she goes to public, parochial, or private school, WHY wasn't her guidance counselor in on this/on her in the spring of last year?
Unless a student knows unequivocally what s/he wants to do with his/her degree and unless s/he has scholarships or wealthy parents who can fully fund their college, I’m a proponent of Community College. Cost is definitely reasonable. The student can study a wide variety of subjects to get a feel for what works for him/her. And, by the time they get to the 4 year college/university they should be more mature and better able to handle the classes and social environment there.
Most, if not all, state and private colleges/universities accept community colleges transfers, depending on courses completed and grades.
