Wabash College
Wabash College, founded in 1832, is one of only a small handful of all-male liberal arts colleges remaining in the United States, having deliberately maintained its single-sex status even as most peer institutions, including most of the historic men's colleges founded around the same era, eventually went coeducational. The college's "Gentleman's Rule," a single, broadly worded code of conduct asking students to act as "a gentleman" in all circumstances rather than a lengthy list of specific prohibited behaviors, has governed student conduct at Wabash for more than a century and reflects the college's distinctive emphasis on self-governance and personal responsibility. Wabash's endowment per student ranks among the highest of any liberal arts college in the country, a financial position built substantially on a historically strong and unusually engaged alumni donor base, funding generous financial aid and academic resources relative to the college's small size. The college's continued commitment to single-sex education, combined with its small size, fewer than 900 students, and its close-knit alumni network, has made Wabash one of the most distinctive small liberal arts colleges remaining in the country, drawing students specifically seeking that particular, increasingly rare educational model.
VS
University of Notre Dame
The University of Notre Dame, founded in 1842 by Father Edward Sorin of the Congregation of Holy Cross, is the most prominent Catholic research university in the United States, and its golden-domed Main Building, topped by a statue of the Virgin Mary, is one of the most recognizable university landmarks in the country. Notre Dame's football program has won 11 consensus national championships and produced seven Heisman Trophy winners, and the team's independence from any athletic conference in football specifically, along with its national television contract with NBC dating back to 1991, reflects a level of standalone national athletic relevance matched by very few other university programs. The university's Mendoza College of Business and its law school have each built strong national reputations, and Notre Dame's continued explicit Catholic mission — including mandatory theology and philosophy coursework for all undergraduates regardless of major — distinguishes its academic requirements from those of most secular private research universities. Notre Dame's combination of major-program football success, a devoted national alumni base extending well beyond Indiana, and genuinely strong academics across business, law, and the sciences has made it one of the most recognizable Catholic universities in the world, with a level of national brand awareness that rivals much larger institutions.
