Vassar College Snapshot
Getting into Vassar College takes more than a WASP heritage and preppy nickname. The highly selective school enrolls about 2,450 students each year, most of whom graduated in the top 20% of their high school class. It has a student-faculty ratio of 9-to-1 and a list of alumni that includes standouts in every area from business to philanthropy. Vassar has no "core curriculum" -- students may concentrate in a single discipline, a multidisciplinary program, or they may design an independent major. The only universal requirements for graduation are proficiency in a foreign language, a freshman composition class, and a quantitative class. Vassar was founded in 1861 as a women's school; it went coed in 1969.
