What non-chatholic women's colleges are there?
Question:
Answer:
The Seven Sisters colleges are the most prestigious women's colleges in the nation, and all are tremendously queer-friendly. All are also tremendously well-endowed, and provide outstanding financial aid packages for students who qualify.
None of these colleges will have a business major, but all have psychology majors.
Barnard College
Bryn Mawr College
Mount Holyoke Colleges
Smith College
Wellesley College
(Vassar and Radcliffe used to be included, but Vassar went co-educational in 1969 and Radcliffe merged into Harvard.)
Other less-selective, but still respectable non-Catholic women's colleges include:
Agnes Scott College
Bay Path College
Cedar Crest College
Mary Baldwin College
Meredith College
Pine Manor College
Simmons College
Spelman College
Sweet Briar College
Wells College
Wesleyan College
Many colleges on the second list will be less queer-friendly. I strongly suggest you take a look at this book as well. It may be in your high school library -- or at least I hope it is.

Most colleges accept both men AND women these days...open up your view...
the college of new rochelle . it is upstate ny
There's a girls only college in california called Mills College. I don't think it's catholic because I always put my religion down as Athetist and they kept sending me information. You might want to check on Wellesly(sp?) too.
Carlow University in Pittsburgh, PA is a women's college. I'm not positive, but I think it's not catholic.
Stop being a lesbian, go to a normal college.
Smith College - Northampton, Mass
Weslsely (sp?) College - Boston, Mass
Mount Holyoke College - Mass
Barnard College (part of Columbia University) - NYC
Agnes Scott College (I don't know if that one is religious or not) - Georgia
Bryn Mywr College - ?
Simmons College (I'm pretty sure is all women) - Boston
I went to Smith, and I loved it. You'll fit right in.
You might like Goddard College in Vermont (http://www.goddard.edu/about/historyofgo... ). It's not all-women's, but it's based on a Dewey education model that allows students to design their own majors, and it gives lots of freedom to study what you want and with whom. One of my current lesbian professors adored Goddard.
If you're looking for cheap, I'd check around at the schools in-state, where the tuition is guaranteed to be cheaper than out-of-state. You might even consider attending a bigger public research institution with an open-minded bent, such as Berkeley (if your grades and extracurriculars are good enough and you think you have a shot at getting accepted) or University of Wisconsin-Madison (where I went to college - it's beautiful; it has an amazing, very supportive and active gay community and a 'gay pride' festival every summer, at which I recently tabled for Planned Parenthood; and it has a huge awesome farmers' market every weekend in the summer).
Oh, Bryn Mawr is in Pennsylvania, and it's not an all-women's school. One of my old-man professors got his B.A. from there in the '60s.

One of my old Madison dance professors also attended Texas Woman's University and liked it very much: http://www.twu.edu/abouttwu.htm... . There's another all-women's college in Missouri called Stephens College, but it's pricey ($28,000 a year): http://www.stephens.edu/stephens/facts/?... . Apply for as many scholarships as you can get your hands on.
