what was the first american college to become co-educational
Mixed-sex education The first co-educational college to be founded was Oberlin Collegiate Institute in Oberlin, Ohio. It opened on December 3, 1833, with 44 students, including 29 men and 15 women. Fully equal status for women did not arrive until 1837, and the first three women to graduate with bachelor's degrees did so in 1840.[2] By the late 20th century, many institutions of higher learning that had been exclusively for people of one sex had become coeducational.
