美国创建女子学院最初是为了给妇女提供相当于男子在常青藤盟校享受的教育机会，现在属美国种族多样性程度最高的一批学院。
在麻萨诸塞州南哈德利市（South Hadley, Massachusetts）霍利奥克山学院（Mount Holyoke College）的一条小路上，外国学生们发现了一头乌龟。霍利奥克山学院的外国学生占全校学生的26%，是美国种族多样化程度最高的文学院之一。据《美国新闻与世界报道》（U.S. News and World Report）的资料，实际上七姐妹女子学院（Seven Sisters colleges）中有6所——历史上清一色的女子学院——在种族多样性方面位居前40名。
七姐妹女子学院于1837至1889年间创建，旨在给妇女提供相当于男子在常青藤盟校（Ivy League institutions）享受的教育机会。霍利奥克山学院——创建之初是一所女子学院——是七姐妹女子学院的第一个成员，为其他姐妹学院树立了榜样。
七姐妹女子学院分布在美国的整个东北部，包括麻萨诸塞州的霍利奥克山学院、拉德克里夫学院（Radcliffe College ）、史密斯学院（Smith College）和韦尔斯利学院（Wellesley College）；纽约州的巴纳德学院（Barnard College）和瓦萨学院（Vassar College）及宾西法尼亚州的布林莫尔（Bryn Mawr College）。拉德克里夫学院和瓦萨学院现在是男女混合学院（coeducational institutions）。

Originally founded to provide women with educational opportunities equal to those available to men, women’s colleges are among the most diverse colleges in the United States.
International students spot a turtle along the path at Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. With international students composing 26 percent of its student body, Mount Holyoke is one of the most ethnically diverse liberal arts colleges in the United States. In fact, six of the Seven Sisters colleges — historically women-only institutions — rank in the top 40 for ethnic diversity, according to U.S. News and World Report.
Established between 1837 and 1889, the Seven Sisters colleges were founded to provide women with educational opportunities equal to those available to men at Ivy League institutions. Mount Holyoke — initially established as a female seminary — was the first member of the Seven Sisters colleges and created a model for its sister colleges.
Spread out across the U.S. Northeast, the Seven Sisters institutions include Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, Smith and Wellesley colleges in Massachusetts, Barnard and Vassar colleges in New York, and Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. Both Radcliffe and Vassar are now coeducational institutions.
