Men's colleges in the United States

Hampden–Sydney College, founded in 1775, is the oldest of only three non-religious, four-year, all-male colleges in the U.S.

Men's colleges in the United States are primarily, though not exclusively, those categorized as being undergraduate, bachelor's degree-granting single-sex institutions that admit only men. In the United States, male-only undergraduate higher education was the norm until the 1960s. The few remaining well-known men's colleges are traditional independent liberal arts colleges, though at present the majority are preparatory institutions for religious vocations, primarily in the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Jewish traditions which permit only male clergy.

There are currently three non-religious, four-year, all-male colleges in the United States: Hampden–Sydney College, Morehouse College, and Wabash College.[1] There is also currently one religious, four year all-male college in the U.S. that is not a seminary: namely Saint John’s University.[1][2]
