Coeducation is the integrated education of men and women. Before coeducation became predominant, most important institutions of higher education restricted their enrollment to men. Women were educated in all-female schools, if at all.

2 Coeducation in the United States

The first coeducational institution of higher education in the United States was Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. The agitation for coeducation by feminists grew through the American Civil War era, and by 1872 there were 97 American universities admitting women. Some institutions refused to integrate fully, but were willing to educate women in closely associated schools—a variation on the later "separate but equal" standard of racially segregated schools followed in some parts of the US. Examples of this parallelism include Radcliffe College at Harvard University in Massachusetts and Barnard College at Columbia University in New York. A variety of gender-segregated women's institutions were founded, notably the Seven Sisters. Some of these are now coeducational (e.g. VassarVassar College is a private, coeducational liberal arts college situated in Poughkeepsie. Formerly a women's college, Vassar is one of the Seven Sisters. The college was founded by its namesake, Matthew Vassar, in 1861 in the scenic Hudson Valley, approxi), while others are not (e.g. WellesleyWellesley College is a women's liberal arts college chartered in 1870 by Henry Fowle Durant and his wife Pauline Fowle Durant. Today, the mission of the college is to "provide an excellent liberal arts education for women who will make a difference in the).

It should be noted that many or most "common schools"—the neighborhood, village and county schools that educated most Americans through the end of the 19th century—were coeducational from the beginning, in part because small school districts could not fund separate educational facilities for girls and boys.
