Women-Only Colleges: Some Unanticipated Consequences.
Kim, Mikyong; Alvarez, Rodolfo
Journal of Higher Education, v66 n6 p641-68 Nov-Dec 1995
Drawing on national and longitudinal survey data, a study of 3,249 students from coeducational colleges and 387 from women-only colleges found that women-only colleges had a positive impact on academic ability and social self-confidence. Students did not differ by school type in preparation for graduate or professional schools, but coed students reported higher job-related skills. (Author/MSE)
