Mary Baldwin College
Mary Baldwin College is a private, independent, and comprehensive four-year liberal arts women's college in Staunton, Virginia. Enrollment is currently 2542 students[citation needed]. It was ranked by US News & World Report as a top-tier, master's level university in the South. Mary Baldwin hosts the only full-fledged Health Care Administration program in the nation[citation needed], and pre-professional programs in law, medicine, ministry, and ROTC. It also hosts the Virginia Women's Institute for Leadership program for female cadets, affiliated with nearby Virginia Military Institute. VWIL was intended to allow VMI, which was then men-only, to satisfy federal non-discrimination laws without accepting women. The United States Government sued the state of Virginia to force compliance with the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution (see United States v. Virginia), and as a result of a 7-1 decision by the Supreme Court of the United States, women were admitted to VMI for the first time. Mary Baldwin is home to a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.
