The women who come to Cottey aren’t looking for an easy path for a degree. They are looking for an experience that enables them to discover their passions, find their voices and achieve their goals—both academically and socially.

Taylor Jordan Class of ‘24

Cottey allowed me to double-major in Theatre and Biology. Singing and acting is my dream, but you can have multiple plans at Cottey.

Chloe Bollin Class of ‘24

Cottey is a really great place to be heard. You don’t realize how little space you have as a woman until you don’t have to fight for space anymore. Cottey is a safe space for people to explore personal interests, academic interests, and be themselves.
