Why a Women's College?

What sets a women’s college apart from coeducational schools? Challenging academics. Integrative learning. Working closely with professors. More collaboration. More class participation. Skills that lead to leadership and career success.

Research indicates that students at women’s colleges gain all that and more. They spend more time on productive activities and gain more from their college experience than women at coeducational institutions.

A dynamic urban location
A commitment to recruiting students of diverse ages, experiences and backgrounds and then serving them well
