Abstract

Using data from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education, this study examines differences in several college outcomes for female students who attend women’s colleges and female students who attend coeducational institutions with different gender histories. Specifically, this study attempts to disaggregate women’s experiences at different types of coeducational institutions in order to better understand how these institutional differences influence college outcomes for women.
