| Diana, have you ever thought about the benefits of a women's college?
At Simmons, our college experience will empower you and help you find your voice. Students explore what leadership means to them and develop a style all their own, resulting in more confident and well-prepared graduates. Check out some of the other amazing things about women's colleges: - Women's college graduates make up only 2% of all U.S. college graduates, but comprise more than 20% of women in Congress and 33% of women on Fortune 100 boards.
- Researchers found that students at women's colleges spend more time on productive activities and gain more from their college experience compared to women at coeducational institutions.
- 81% of women's college grads reported feeling well-prepared for their first job versus 65% of public university grads.
- First-year students and seniors at women's colleges reported higher levels of active and collaborative learning, interaction with faculty, and class participation.
- At Simmons, women hold all the leadership roles in clubs, organizations, athletics, and more (and they don't have to compete with their male counterparts for funding.)
Famous Women's College Alumnae: Hillary Clinton, Diane Sawyer, Nancy Pelosi, Meryl Streep, Gloria Steinem, Barbara Walters, Madeleine Albright, and Katharine Hepburn all graduated from women's colleges; Rehema Ellis, Ann Fudge, and the late Gwen Ifill graduated from Simmons.
