Is Mary Baldwin University an All-Girls School?

I’m in the process of exploring potential colleges to apply to and came across Mary Baldwin University. However, I've been hearing mixed information about whether it's an all-girls school or co-ed.

Could someone clarify what the current situation is? If it’s an all-girls school, are there any exceptions or particular programs that might be different? Understanding this will help me better assess whether it aligns with what I'm looking for in a college experience.

Mary Baldwin University is a co-educational institution, meaning that it accepts both male and female students in its programs. However, it does have a longstanding history as a women's college and maintains a commitment to women's education even today.

One aspect unique to Mary Baldwin is its program known as the Women's College. The Women's College is a residential program for undergraduate women within the university and offers an empowering environment for female leaders, but it's not the sole program at Mary Baldwin. Other programs within the university like the undergraduate co-educational University College program and the various graduate programs are open to all genders.

So, while there are parts of Mary Baldwin that continue to uphold its tradition as a women's college, it's essential to recognize that the university as a whole now offers a broader and more diverse educational experience. It's also worth noting that the campus culture still upholds many of the values of a traditionally women's college, like fostering women's leadership and advocacy.
