Randolph-Macon Woman's College
Randolph Macon Woman's College is a private liberal arts college situated in Lynchburg, Virginia. It was founded in 1891 as a woman's college and was known as Randolph-Macon Woman's College. It will be re-named July 1, 2007 to Randolph College for fall 2007 when the college becomes coeducational.

The college was founded by William Waugh Smith, then-president of Randolph-Macon College, under Randolph-Macon's charter after failing to convince R-MC to become co-educational. Randolph-Macon Woman's College and R-MC have been governed by a separate board of trustees since 1953. Randolph-Macon Woman's College has historic ties to the United Methodist Church. After many attempts to find a location for Randolph-Macon Woman's College, the city of Lynchburg donated the property for the purpose of establishing a women's college.

The school is well-respected as an academic institution and while a women's college was considered one of the "Seven Sisters of the South." In 1916, it became the first women's college in the South to earn a Phi Beta Kappa charter.
