Haverford is affiliated with the Quakers. There's always BYU, Regency, Bob Jones, Texas Christian, Southern Methodist, Concordia, Springfield, Trinity (VT) as well as many other schools formed originally as Protestant schools which are now ecumenical. You might contact the Council on Christian Colleges and Universities or log on to www.cccu.org for more information.

Wake Forest has decently strong ties with the Baptists; Duke more historical ones with the Methodists.

There're also your high-quality overtly religious schools that merit consideration, such as Wheaton College and the aforementioned St. Olaf.

Swarthmore is also a Quaker-affiliated college.

BYU is not Protestant, Mormonism is an entity unto itself.

University of the South (Sewanee) is owned by several southern Episcopal dioceses. Some other Episcopal-affiliated colleges are Bard and Kenyon. Can't remember the other ones off the top of my head.

And there are a TON of Methodist-affiliated colleges. If it's got "Wesleyan" in its title, then it's either still affiliated with the Methodist church, or was started by Methodists.

Emory is affiliated (loosely) with the Methodist Church.

Who put Bob Jones on the list of TOP colleges. That place seems to be a bit out of place.
