Newcomb College

Newcomb College was a women's college founded in 1886 as part of Tulane University in New Orleans. It offered undergraduate education exclusively for women and fostered academic and leadership development. Over time, it evolved into a program focused on women's studies and became integrated into Tulane's broader offerings. Today, "Newcomb College" is recognized primarily through the Newcomb Institute, which continues to promote women's education, research, and leadership initiatives within the university. It played a significant role in advancing women's access to higher education and empowerment in the Southern United States.
