Women's-only colleges are declining, but some are coming up with innovative solutions that could change the ratio of women in top jobs.
In March 2015, Sweet Briar College, a liberal arts school in rural Sweet Briar, Virginia, announced that it would close, marking another loss in the world of women's-only colleges. Fifty years ago, there were 230 women's-only colleges in the U.S., according to the Women's College Coalition, an association for women's-only colleges. After years of closure, mergers, and conversion to co-educational institutions, there are roughly 40 such institutions left.
