Women's colleges in the US are built on the belief that different students thrive in different environments and learn in different ways. And they seem to know what they're doing, since women's colleges and universities have been--and continue to be--an important option in America's postsecondary education. The development of women's colleges in the US goes back to the early 1800's, and while their numbers declined after many institutions went co-ed in the 1970's, the more than 50 women's colleges still open today offer a unique learning environment centered on providing quality academic programs combined with personal and professional mentoring.
Women's colleges are dedicated to bringing about educational equality and providing options for women. Women's colleges can be public or private, secular or church-affiliated, four-year or two-year, and are distinctive in offering the personal attention and learning methods to ensure student success in any program, including religious and theological studies. So whether it's a degree with a major in comparative religion, biblical studies, eastern religions, Jewish studies, worship arts, development studies, counseling studies, scriptural languages, intercultural studies, or theology, women's colleges and universities offer women-centered curricula that will challenge and inspire you.
So if you're looking for religious and theological studies programs that really encourage you to learn and express yourself your own way, then be sure to look at what's available at women's colleges and universities with religious and theological studies programs.
