Abstract

Analysis of a panel study of 260 women at 4 colleges (women's college, coordinate of men's college, long-time coeducational college, recently coeducational college) to evaluate why alumnae of women's colleges succeed more than graduates of coeducational colleges. Role models and college activities and their effects on self-esteem are considered. (SLD)

2. College Experiences and Sex-Role Attitudes: Does a Women's College Make a Difference?

Author

Miller-Bernal, Leslie

Abstract

This study tests the notion that single sex colleges provide a more "favorable climate" for women's achievement than do comparable coeducational institutions. Rather than outcomes, the following college experiences are compared: (1) students' activities; (2) relations with faculty and peers; and (3) sex-role attitudes. Qualified findings suggest a more conducive environment in women's colleges. (AF)

Abstract

The upsurge of coeducation in the late 1960s and 1970s led to the virtual disappearance of men’s colleges and difficulties for women’s colleges. This paper discusses the reasons women’s colleges have had serious financial and enrollment problems and ways in which they have adapted to this challenging environment. Each year fewer women’s colleges remain. Most of those that do not admit men and thereby become coeducational use alternative survival strategies, which often involve men students in some programs. The paper concludes with a comparison of formerly women’s colleges and formerly men’s colleges, in terms of their enrollments and experiences of women students, faculty, and staff.
