Methodology:
To figure out if the majority of students would consider themselves to be right of the political center, Newsweek and The Daily Beast partnered with College Prowler to analyze data on the percentage of students who deemed their campus “conservative” or “very conservative,” as well as students’ rating for the political diversity on campus. The percentage of “very conservative” was given double weight, and the diversity score was used as a tie-breaking metric for schools with student bodies of matching conservative leanings.
