Information about Men's Colleges In The United States
Men's colleges in the United States are primarily undergraduate, Bachelor's degree-granting institutions that admit men exclusively. The most noted men's colleges are traditional liberal arts colleges, though the majority are institutions of learning for those preparing for religious vocations.
By the 1960s, and particularly in 1969, many single-sex institutions began to admit women. Some of the most prestigious men's colleges began to admit women during this time period, including Georgetown University, Princeton University, Yale University, and Wesleyan University. Franklin & Marshall College, which was originally chartered as the co-educational "Franklin College," also returned to co-education in 1969, after having become a men's college due to financial issues.
Many colleges that are currently co-educational have only become so within the past few decades. Columbia College of Columbia University did not admit women until 1983, three years after Haverford College admitted its first female students. By that point, most men's colleges had already disappeared from the American academic landscape.
The most notable men's college to begin admitting women in recent years is the Virginia Military Institute (VMI), which had been sued by the U.S. Department of Justice in 1990 for discrimination. The Department of Justice argued that since VMI was a public institution, it could not prevent women from attending based on gender alone. Due to United States v. Virginia, VMI admitted its first female cadets in 1997.
Although most non-religious men's colleges now face the question of co-education, some new men's colleges have been proposed. One of the most frequently discussed is the Southern Military Institute, which has been proposed as a new men-only alternative to the now co-educational VMI and The Citadel, the latter of which admitted its first female students in 1993.
As of April 2006, the largest men's colleges were: Morehouse (3,029 undergraduates); Beth Medrash Govoha (2,034); Saint John's University in Minnesota (1,842); Hampden-Sydney (1,060); United Talmudical Seminary and Wabash College (869 each).
The smallest were Yeshiva and Kolel Bais Medrash Elyon (17 undergraduates), the Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary (20), the Talmudical Institute of Upstate New York (21), Rabbinical College Beth Shraga (36), and Wickliffe College of Telshe (36).
The Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades offers associate degrees and is not usually cited on as a men's colleges per se, even though it enrolls no females, is an officially secular institution, and is not affiliated with any other institution.
Additionally, although many seminaries officially operate as men's colleges, some are also not frequently cited. These include The Master's Seminary in Sun Valley, California; the Saint Meinrad School of Theology in Saint Meinrad, Indiana; and Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut.
At Tulane University, Tulane College was for men and H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College was for women. The two have now merged due to the financial devastation to the university after Hurricane Katrina.
In each of these cases, the individual colleges have their own residence systems, advisors, staff, student governments, and traditions separate from their male or female counterpart.
In a slightly different arrangement, Hobart College is all-male and is the "coordinate," or partner, college of William Smith College, a women's college. They are collectively known as Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Unlike the single-sex colleges at Yeshiva and Richmond, they are not considered to be two colleges within one larger university, but instead two independent colleges joined together in a partnership arrangement, much like the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University in Minnesota.
According to the College Board's statistics, at least 15,183 men in April 2006 were attending the following institutions that are not open to female enrollment, with 13 schools not reporting their enrollment figures:

History
Most colleges in the United States were gender-segregated until the 1960s. Among public universities, the University of Iowa was the first men's college to begin admitting women, doing so in 1855. Alfred University founded in 1836 was the first private co educational school in the United States.By the 1960s, and particularly in 1969, many single-sex institutions began to admit women. Some of the most prestigious men's colleges began to admit women during this time period, including Georgetown University, Princeton University, Yale University, and Wesleyan University. Franklin & Marshall College, which was originally chartered as the co-educational "Franklin College," also returned to co-education in 1969, after having become a men's college due to financial issues.
Many colleges that are currently co-educational have only become so within the past few decades. Columbia College of Columbia University did not admit women until 1983, three years after Haverford College admitted its first female students. By that point, most men's colleges had already disappeared from the American academic landscape.

Today
As of April 2007, there were five institutions in the United States that were most commonly recognized as men's colleges. These are:- Deep Springs College, a two-year college in Deep Springs, California
- Hampden-Sydney College, Hampden-Sydney, Virginia
- Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia
- Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Indiana
- St. John's University, Collegeville, Minnesota
As of April 2006, the largest men's colleges were: Morehouse (3,029 undergraduates); Beth Medrash Govoha (2,034); Saint John's University in Minnesota (1,842); Hampden-Sydney (1,060); United Talmudical Seminary and Wabash College (869 each).
The smallest were Yeshiva and Kolel Bais Medrash Elyon (17 undergraduates), the Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary (20), the Talmudical Institute of Upstate New York (21), Rabbinical College Beth Shraga (36), and Wickliffe College of Telshe (36).

Additionally, although many seminaries officially operate as men's colleges, some are also not frequently cited. These include The Master's Seminary in Sun Valley, California; the Saint Meinrad School of Theology in Saint Meinrad, Indiana; and Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut.
Counterparts and coordinates
Some universities separate their undergraduate students into individual, gender-conscious colleges. Yeshiva University oversees the all-male Yeshiva College as well as the Stern College for Women. The University of Richmond has Richmond College for men and Westhampton College for women.At Tulane University, Tulane College was for men and H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College was for women. The two have now merged due to the financial devastation to the university after Hurricane Katrina.
In each of these cases, the individual colleges have their own residence systems, advisors, staff, student governments, and traditions separate from their male or female counterpart.
In a slightly different arrangement, Hobart College is all-male and is the "coordinate," or partner, college of William Smith College, a women's college. They are collectively known as Hobart and William Smith Colleges. Unlike the single-sex colleges at Yeshiva and Richmond, they are not considered to be two colleges within one larger university, but instead two independent colleges joined together in a partnership arrangement, much like the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University in Minnesota.
Coeducational programs and services
As with many women's colleges, some men's colleges do have a limited number of coeducational programs and services. Saint Meinrad and Holy Apostles allow limited enrollment for lay women in specially-designated courses, while Master's operates a Seminary Wives Discipleship program on its campus for ten weeks each semester. Hampden-Sydney provides a female-only guest house on its campus for college visitors.List of men's colleges

These are mostly Orthodox Jewish Rabbinical colleges (yeshivas), with a large concentration of Rabbinical colleges being located in the New York City metropolitan area.According to the College Board's statistics, at least 15,183 men in April 2006 were attending the following institutions that are not open to female enrollment, with 13 schools not reporting their enrollment figures:
