Corrected on 03/30/09: A previous version of this list erroneously identified a college. The correct women's college is Columbia College in South Carolina, not Columbia College in Chicago.

Schools are sorted alphabetically.

Wilson College, Chambersburg, PA - A College for Women since 1869.

Sadly, Newcomb College in New Orleans no longer exists; Tulane dissolved this successful, respected 120 year old college, using Katrina as an excuse. Many believe the plan to eliminate Newcomb existed prior to Katrina;the catastrophe presented the opportunity.
Women's colleges encourage, champion, mentor, and value women, helping them to fully realize their potential. Best of luck to the shrinking list of schools that understand what women need and what they can achieve.
