Today
As of December 2008, there were three non-religious institutions in the United States that were most commonly recognized as four-year men's colleges. These are:
- Hampden-Sydney College, Hampden-Sydney, Virginia
- Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia
- Wabash College, Crawfordsville, Indiana
As of April 2006, the largest men's colleges were: Morehouse (3,029 undergraduates); Beth Medrash Govoha (2,034); Hampden-Sydney College (1,060); United Talmudical Seminary and Wabash College (869 each).
The smallest were Yeshiva and Kolel Bais Medrash Elyon (17 undergraduates), the Holy Trinity Orthodox Seminary (20), the Talmudical Institute of Upstate New York (21), Rabbinical College Beth Shraga (36), and Wickliffe College of Telshe (36).
The Williamson Free School of Mechanical Trades, which offers Associate's degrees, is not usually included on lists of traditional men's colleges, even though it enrolls no females, is an officially secular institution, and is not affiliated with any other institution. There is also Deep Springs College, a two-year liberal arts college in California that will begin admitting women for the fall of 2013.
Additionally, although many seminaries officially operate as men's colleges, some are also not frequently cited. These include The Master's Seminary in Sun Valley, California; the Saint Meinrad School of Theology in Saint Meinrad, Indiana; and Holy Apostles College and Seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut.
