Wheaton College
Wheaton College, founded in 1860, is widely regarded as the leading evangelical Christian liberal arts college in the country, and its most famous alumnus, evangelist Billy Graham, graduated in 1943 before going on to become one of the most influential religious figures of the 20th century. The college requires all students and faculty to affirm a statement of faith and abide by a community covenant governing personal conduct, a level of explicit religious commitment woven into daily campus life that distinguishes Wheaton sharply from secular liberal arts colleges of similar academic caliber. Despite its religious mission, Wheaton has built genuinely strong academic programs — its conservatory of music and its science departments both hold solid national reputations, and the college's rigorous admissions standards place it among the more academically selective Christian colleges in the country. Wheaton's Billy Graham Center, a museum and archive dedicated to the study of evangelicalism housed on campus, reflects the college's institutional role as a hub for American evangelical scholarship, giving it an academic identity that combines liberal arts rigor with an explicitly stated religious mission few other nationally ranked colleges share.
VS
Northwestern University
Northwestern University, founded in 1851 by a group of Methodist businessmen and named for the Northwest Territory it was chartered to serve, has grown into one of the country's top research universities, with a Evanston campus directly on Lake Michigan just north of Chicago. The Medill School of Journalism is consistently ranked among the best journalism programs in the country, and Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management similarly ranks among the top business schools nationally, giving the university unusually strong programs in both media and business that draw on its proximity to Chicago's corporate and media industries. Northwestern's combination of Big Ten athletics, an elite academic reputation, and a lakefront suburban campus close to a major city has made it one of the more distinctive elite research universities — competing academically with the Ivy League while also fielding Division I sports teams in one of the country's most competitive athletic conferences. The university's theater and performance studies programs have produced a disproportionate share of working film, television, and stage actors relative to the size of the program, giving Northwestern an entertainment-industry pipeline that rivals dedicated conservatory programs despite being embedded within a large comprehensive research university.
