Within the context of global, national and local changes since the fall of Ferdinand Marcos in 1986, academic and administrative leaders at two prestigious women's colleges candidly discuss how their respective institutions adapted to their environments and how the colleges will fare in the future. Preferences for large, coeducational institutions; the emergence of less expensive tertiary institutions; and the downward spiral of a weak national economy combined to destabilized the enrollment base of these colleges. Factors unique to the Philippines including an increasing number of female overseas contract workers; struggles with national language preferences; and the growth of feminism also affected the colleges. In response, the colleges expanded their curricula, chose high-profile presidents, focused on faculty development, and acquired technology. Decision-markers at these colleges will have to continue in their efforts at solidifying their positions in the Philippine higher education system. The book that women's colleges worldwide must articulate their unique purposes and collaborate with other institutions to strengthen their organizations. 410 0$aStudies in higher education. 606 $aWomen's colleges$zPhilippines$vCase studies 606 $aWomen$xEducation (Higher)$zPhilippines$vCase studies 606 $aWomen$xEducation (Higher)$xSocial aspects$zPhilippines$vCase studies 606 $aWomen in higher education$vCross-cultural studies 615 0$aWomen's colleges 615 0$aWomen$xEducation (Higher) 615 0$aWomen$xEducation (Higher)$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWomen in higher education 676 $a378.1/9822/09599 700 $aPurcell$b Francesca B.$01867034 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962533603321 996 $aComing of age$94474460 997 $aUNINA
