Women's colleges are not only relevant, they are critical for the development of women leaders in all fields.

Women's colleges provide a challenging, supportive, developmentally powerful learning environment.

Where women are more engaged, they hold more leadership positions and develop higher critical thinking skills than their peers at co-educational institutions
