Who the men's-college flag includes
A school is on this page when the College Scorecard flags it as a men's college. The flag includes men's liberal arts colleges such as Morehouse, Wabash, and Hampden-Sydney. It also includes yeshivas and seminaries that report the same flag. The table sorts by state.
This is not a list of colleges with football teams, and it is not the mirror image of the women's-college page. The women's list is mostly a familiar set of colleges. The men's flag is a wider mix. Read the degree and control figures before you assume every row is a small campus.

The flag, including seminaries
Morehouse College, Wabash College, and Hampden-Sydney College are the names readers expect, and they carry the flag. Yeshivas such as Beth Medrash Govoha carry it too. The page does not split the flag into a polite subset and a hidden subset.
Morehouse also carries the HBCU flag, so it is on both pages. A second flag is additional information. It is not a reason to leave this list.
Coeducational universities stay off
A university that enrolls men, which is almost every university, is not a men's college. The flag means the institution reports itself as men-only. A college of arts inside a university does not pull the whole university onto this page.
A college that became coeducational and dropped the flag stays off. The page follows the current flag. A historical reputation is not a field in the file.
Look at the credential
Predominant degree on this list is not always a bachelor's degree. Seminaries and yeshivas can award a different credential, or report a small undergraduate body. A surprising row is often the flag working as written.
Use the women's-college page for the parallel flag. Use a religion page when the question is affiliation rather than who is enrolled. Jewish affiliation and the men's flag overlap for some yeshivas, and both can be true.
Why the list looks unlike the brochure
Searchers who want only Hampden-Sydney, Wabash, and Morehouse still need to see the rest, because hiding the seminaries would misrepresent the flag. The guide is here so the extra rows are explained instead of looking like mistakes.
The page does not rank these colleges, and it does not recommend a men-only education. It reports a Scorecard flag and the numbers attached to those campuses.
Where the schools are
These schools sit in 18 states. The largest groups are New York (34), New Jersey (4), Florida (3), Pennsylvania (3), and Indiana (2). The rest of the roll is spread across the other states in the table.
Who runs them
Every school with a reported control is a private nonprofit college. Control is the Scorecard field. It is not a judgment about quality.
Predominant degree is the credential the campus awards most often. On this list it is a bachelor's degree at 45 schools, an associate degree at 14 schools, and a graduate degree at 2 schools. A campus can still award other credentials.
How large they are
The largest undergraduate enrollments on this list are Beth Medrash Govoha in Lakewood, New Jersey, with 4,027 undergraduates, Uta Mesivta of Kiryas Joel in Monroe, New York, with 2,957 undergraduates, Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, with 2,844 undergraduates, United Talmudical Seminary in Brooklyn, New York, with 2,241 undergraduates, and Saint Johns University in Collegeville, Minnesota, with 1,395 undergraduates. Enrollment is the undergraduate figure. It is not a ranking, and it leaves out graduate students.
2 schools do not report an undergraduate enrollment. Those campuses stay off the size order. A blank is not zero.
Admission
43 of 61 schools report an admission rate. The median of those rates is 89%. Schools with no reported rate stay out of the median. A missing rate is not an open door, and it is not a closed one.
The lowest reported admission rates on this list are Yeshivath Zichron Moshe in South Fallsburg, New York, at 30%, Conception Seminary College in Conception, Missouri, at 32%, and Yeshiva Shaarei Torah of Rockland in Suffern, New York, at 37%. A lower rate is harder entry. It is not a score for the school.
The highest reported admission rates on this list are Telshe Yeshiva-Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, at 100%, Machzikei Hadath Rabbinical College in Brooklyn, New York, at 100%, and Ohr Hameir Theological Seminary in Peekskill, New York, at 100%.
What they charge
Among 57 private colleges that report a sticker price, the median is $12,700. 4 other private colleges on the list do not report one.
Sticker price is not net price. Grants, waivers, and a service commitment can move the bill by a wide margin. Open a school for the net-price figures.
Earnings and graduation
Among 25 schools that report earnings, the median of those school-level medians is $41,527. The clock starts at entry, not at graduation. The highest reported medians on this list are Yeshiva Shaarei Torah of Rockland in Suffern, New York, at $89,548, Saint Johns University in Collegeville, Minnesota, at $76,786, and Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Indiana, at $69,952.
Among 54 schools that report a graduation rate, the median rate is 49%. A blank rate is left out. It is not treated as zero.
Also on other lists
Some of these schools also meet the rule for another list on this site. The overlap is a second flag or a second classification. It is not a second ranking.
5 are also on liberal arts colleges.
How these figures work
Admission rate, enrollment, sticker price, earnings, and graduation rate all come from the College Scorecard. Earnings are the median 10 years after a student entered the school. Tuition for a public college is the in-state sticker price. Tuition for a private college is the published sticker price. None of these is net price after aid.
A blank field stays blank. This page does not turn a blank admission rate into an open door, a blank fee into a free application, or a blank earnings figure into zero. The table above is membership under the rule in this guide. Sort order is not a quality ranking.
