Baker University
Baker University, founded in 1858, is the oldest four-year university in Kansas, chartered while Kansas was still a US territory rather than a state, and the university's small Baldwin City campus reflects its long history as one of the region's earliest institutions of higher education. The university's Methodist religious affiliation shapes aspects of its institutional mission, and Baker's School of Professional and Graduate Studies has expanded the university's offerings well beyond its traditional undergraduate liberal arts core into adult and professional degree completion programs. Baker's small size and its combination of traditional undergraduate liberal arts programs alongside professional graduate offerings reflect a broader institutional strategy common among smaller regional private universities seeking to diversify enrollment beyond traditional-age undergraduates alone. The university's genuine historical seniority as Kansas's oldest four-year institution, combined with its continued Methodist affiliation and its expanded professional studies offerings, has made Baker a distinctive if smaller-scale choice among Kansas's private universities.
VS
Benedictine College
Benedictine College, formed in 1971 through the merger of two earlier Catholic colleges founded by Benedictine monks and nuns, maintains an active on-campus abbey and monastery, giving the small Atchison, Kansas college a level of direct daily monastic religious presence unusual even among Catholic colleges. The college's explicit commitment to Catholic identity and its core curriculum grounded in Catholic intellectual tradition have made it one of the most academically and religiously traditional Catholic colleges in the Midwest, drawing students specifically seeking that particular combination. Benedictine's enrollment has grown substantially over the past two decades, a notable trend at a time when many small religious liberal arts colleges nationally have faced declining enrollment, reflecting the college's success in attracting students specifically drawn to its traditional Catholic mission. The college's combination of an active on-campus Benedictine monastic community, its explicitly traditional Catholic intellectual curriculum, and its notable recent enrollment growth has made it one of the most distinctive small Catholic colleges in the Midwest.
