Learn about a Women's College with the Statistics
This week is a “Why a Women’s College” Week, and we’re featuring a post a day from different perspectives on the value of an inclusive women’s college education. Today’s post is for those of you who want to look at the numbers- facts, figures and statistics about women’s colleges.
Students
- Women’s Colleges as a group are more racially and ethnically diverse than other types of schools; 43% of those attending Women’s Colleges identify as American BIPOC.1
- Women’s Colleges have more students that receive Pell Grants than other types of schools.1
- Women’s Colleges alumnae are more likely than public university or liberal arts college alumnae to say they benefited from a safe campus environment.2
- Women’s College students are more likely to value helping others, influencing social values, promoting racial understanding, becoming a community leader, and helping the environment.4

- Women’s College students are more likely to participate in student government.4
“Being away from home and in the company of my fellow classmates—all smart, driven women wanting to make a mark on the world—gave me a new perspective on the place where I grew up (Rwanda). I observed even more gaps that needed to be filled if I wanted to inspire other young women to pursue careers they’re passionate about and make a difference in their own communities.”

Academics
- Women’s Colleges alumnae are more likely than all other alumni to have graduated in four years or less.2
- Women’s College students graduate at similar rates to liberal arts colleges in general, and BIPOC graduates are at higher rates than at other types of schools.1

- Women’s College faculty are more likely to embrace student-centered teaching practices, class discussions, and cooperative learning.3
- Women’s College faculty are among the most likely to involve undergraduates in their research.3
“Before, I was afraid of change, of travel where there might be language barriers and different expectations. Now I have confidence in my ability... SUMMIT taught me how to pick out and focus on the qualities I best embody in my leadership style.”

Eileen Davila '20
Post-College Outcomes
- Women’s College alumnae are more likely than other graduates to be “completely satisfied” with the overall quality of their education.2

“ I had the most amazing community of friends, women who were equal parts intelligent, caring, and fun. I developed relationships with professors that I maintain today. I always felt like there was a community of people cheering me on.”
