Where do non-religious conservative scholars go to college?

[Flambeau]

Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll look into them, but I’m more interested in top, top schools. I don’t want to go backward, you know? I want to get my graduate education at a college that is either as highly ranked and recognizable as USC or better.

But I guess there really aren’t any top colleges that fit?

The only ones that I think may fit are: Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Duke, and Georgetown. I think those may be a bit less overwhelmingly liberal than the rest of the top schools, but I’m really not sure. Because when I chose USC over Berkeley for undergrad, part of my reason was that I thought USC would be more politically moderate, and boy, was I wrong…

ETA: I know that Notre Dame and Georgetown are technically religious schools, but their student bodies are pretty secular, compared to most Christian colleges.

ETA again because new replies were posted:

BTW - what’s your current major at USC? I got an engineering degree at USC years ago, and while I can imagine a political discussion being initiated by a professor in certain courses, it’s hard (though not impossible) to see an engineering professor starting a political discussion. And don’t forget, Professor Schwarzenegger runs a policy institute there, as does Dan Schnur, who was a well-known Republican operative in California before ran for California Secretary of State.

I’m an English major and a Political Science minor. But both of the professors I’ve had for science classes spouted liberal views pretty frequently in classes that had absolutely nothing to do with politics. But these weren’t engineering classes, so maybe Viterbi is different.
