All-American Colleges: Top Schools for Conservatives, Old-Fashioned Liberals, and People of Faith

by John Zmirak (Editor)

Since it published its first college guide in 1998, tens of thousands of parents and their college-aged children have come to depend on ISI for informed and independent judgments of the prevailing intellectual, political, and social environments at America’s top colleges and universities. With this brand-new guide, All-American Top Schools for Believers, Conservatives, and Old-Fashioned Liberals, ISI provides a crucial supplement to its critically acclaimed Choosing the Right College . While Choosing the Right College covers America’s elite private and public institutions, many of them hotbeds of politicized instruction and saddled with anemic curricula, in All-American Colleges ISI’s editorial team provides personal, in-depth profiles of forty highly recommended schools and programs.

 

At each of these diverse institutions, students who identify themselves as religious believers, conservatives, or old-fashioned liberals will find programs that connect in a special way with the core values of the American founding and the vibrant intellectual traditions of the West—schools and programs that are, in fact, often transformative. Based on fresh, extensive interviews with students, faculty, and administrators, the profiles in All-American Colleges extend ISI’s coverage of contemporary academia to accentuate the positive—while including necessary caveats about the unfortunate aspects of each school. The result is a unique new guide that parents—and buyers of Choosing the Right College —will not want to miss.

From the author of "The Bad Catholic's Guide..." this book tells it like it is at a wide variety of colleges across the country. A great book for parents and teens in the college search process.
