  1. Harding University

    • SEARCY, AR
    • 1,001 reviews
    #1 Most Conservative Colleges in Arkansas

    Alum: When I think back on my time in college it brings a big smile to my face. I had a wonderful experience! It wasn't a walk in the park class wise but the professors will work with you to help you succeed if you prove to them you are working hard. One time I was doing really poorly in a class and the professor met with me in my free time and prayed with me. I loved that. That's something you most likely won't get at a state college. Also I loved my tiny department, Family Consumer Science. They were tight knit and the classes were ones you wanted to stay after class and just chat with your professors. I also loved my social club. They truly accepted me even with my quirks and all. I loved my Chi Omega Pi sisters! Also if you choose to attend I encourage you to go on a spring break mission trip. You will meet people you may not have ever met on campus and most importantly grow closer to God.

  2. Ouachita Baptist University

    • 4 Year
    • ARKADELPHIA, AR
    • 500 reviews
    #2 Most Conservative Colleges in Arkansas

    Alum: Class of 2018 here! Ouachita was everything I hoped for in a college experience. It's big enough that there are always new people to meet, and small enough that you never feel surrounded by strangers; big enough to offer a myriad of opportunities and experiences (academic, extracurricular, and just plain fun!), and small enough that you don't have to compete with hundreds of people to be a part of them. As a faith-based institution, OBU is rooted in the Word and in community, and I always felt encouraged to ask questions and dive deep. My faith was challenged and strengthened, and I was never encouraged to believe something "just because," but to think critically, identify reputable sources, and seek real answers. Though I majored in a niche field, the liberal arts base I received made me highly marketable in other areas as well, and I credit Ouachita not only for lifelong friends and connections, but for preparing me for meaningful engagement with the world after college.

  3. University of Arkansas

    • 4 Year
    • FAYETTEVILLE, AR
    • 3,379 reviews
    #3 Most Conservative Colleges in Arkansas

    Freshman: The University of Arkansas is so great for any out-of-state student! They have lots of incentives for anyone moving here from a different state, as I did. The campus is absolutely beautiful, especially in the fall. The Arkansas nature is so gorgeous and there are lots of programs and activities for anyone to do to stay active, such as nature trails around the campus area. The campus is actually very safe, which was a big worry of mine. The application process was super easy and stress-free. Although the housing process was a bit chaotic, it didn't last long and I got my first choice for dorms! Overall, UArk is very quaint and such a good college experience!

  4. Arkansas State University

    • 4 Year
    • JONESBORO, AR
    • 1,224 reviews
    #4 Most Conservative Colleges in Arkansas

    Junior: I cannot speak for other departments, but the history department is top notch at Arkansas State! Every professor genuinely cares about their students and wants them to learn about history. Our chancellor is incredible. He is great about keeping students informed, which has been especially apparent since the COVID-19 pandemic. Best library ever!

    Like any school, however, A-State has its flaws. If you don't live on campus or participate in Greek Life, you will not make friends easily. That really got to me as a freshman. I feel like A-State higher ups have a greater concern for commercial investments and athletics instead of educational value, but the professors make this difficult to notice, as most of them care. If you aren't from Jonesboro, you may be disappointed in the city. There is not a whole lot going on around here.

    #5 Most Conservative Colleges in Arkansas

    Alum: I loved the professors at Lyon College! So willing to go the extra mile to see you make your best grades. So helpful when it came to after-college internships, graduate schools, and job placement. I wish that Lyon had hosted more traditional parties, not just weird frat parties.

The PACE Program offers alternative ways to take classes that allowed me to complete my degree while I still worked full-time. All in all, it's a great value and worthy investment!

    Sophomore: Overall, Williams Baptist University is an exceptional school to attend. It has a safe and family environment that allows you to grow and discover yourself throughout your time on campus. The course work is strenuous; however, it allows you to leave with an actual understanding of each class you completed. The professors at Williams Baptist University are also extremely nice and welcoming.

There are various places to study by yourself or in a group throughout the campus. Also, Williams Baptist University has a wide variety of people that will help allow everyone a group that they could fit into to help them make their college experiences the best.

    #13 Most Conservative Colleges in Arkansas

    Sophomore: UCA is an outstanding university with numerous and diverse opportunities in research and academics. Classes at UCA are indeed difficult, with homework and associated studying consuming a large chunk of time. The beauty of this is that it pushes students to go above and beyond their previous understanding of what they believed themselves to be capable of. Additionally, the explorative and creative atmosphere which springs from the vibrancy of the student body and the faculty is second to none. There are so many chances to do great things at UCA, even as an undergrad!

    #14 Most Conservative Colleges in Arkansas

    Junior: I attended UAM for three years and a half. It was an amazing experience because you have some faculty members who actually want to see you succeed. You were assigned advisors to help guide you in your major and mine was a big help. There was a lot of extracurricular activities that you could do as well. When I attended my freshman year, it was honestly my best year because everything was so fresh to me. If you put your mind to anything at the school, I'm sure you will succeed. I plan to come back to UAM after I get my associates degree.

    • 203 reviews

    Alum: I was dual enrolled at Bluefield College online for three years. I was able to graduate with my Associate's Degree at the age of 17. The value of the classes was superb, and for the most part, I liked all my classes and professors. The faculty was always quick to answer questions and rectify problems, and the professors were gracious, understanding, and willing to help in any way they could. I enjoyed my time at Bluefield Online and would certainly recommend it to others.
