Stephens College is a private liberal arts women's college in Columbia, Missouri, on an 86-acre urban campus. It was founded in 1833 as the Columbia Female Academy and, according to Wikipedia, is the second-oldest women's educational establishment that is still a women's college in the United States. Its drama department became renowned under actress Maude Adams from 1937 to 1943, and the campus includes the Stephens College South Campus Historic District and the Firestone Baars Chapel designed by Eero Saarinen. It enrolled 593 students in fall 2021. The college is reorganizing from three schools into a Women's College and an all-gender Conservatory for the Performing Arts, and launched a trade program in 2024. Shannon B. Lundeen became president in 2025. Admission is rolling.
