Details of Fall 1976 enrollment statistics at women's colleges are reported in this bulletin. Among findings were that there were 125 institutions that identified themselves as women's colleges (with a total enrollment of 109,549); 38 percent of the women's colleges were attended exclusively by women (in contrast, 75 percent of men's colleges enrolled only men); women's colleges averaged 876 students (4.7 percent of whom were men); nine out of every 10 students in women's colleges were undergraduates; Blacks constituted the largest racial minority group attending women's colleges, accounting for eight percent of the total enrollment; 24 percent attended college on a part-time basis; and most women's colleges were private four-year institutions located near the eastern seaboard.
