School Notes:
  • Cottey College is a two-year independent, residential, liberal arts and sciences college for women. The college is located at Nevada, Missouri (pop. 9,000), approximately 100 miles south of Kansas City. The campus occupies 14 buildings on 11 city blocks, and a 33-acre wooded recreational area with lodge.
  • Virginia Alice Cottey founded the College in 1884 with the firm belief that women deserved the same quality of education as men. When the founder became a member of the P.E.O. Sisterhood, she realized the organization paralleled her own goals and ideas about higher education for women. The P.E.O. Sisterhood accepted the College as a gift from Virginia Alice Cottey in 1927, which made it the only nonsectarian college owned and supported by women. The P.E.O. Sisterhood, a philanthropic educational organization of over 250,000 members, is dedicated to providing educational opportunities for women.
  • Cottey helps young women reach their true potential in a dynamic, residential learning environment emphasizing the liberal arts. Our faculty and other campus resources are in place to provide guidance and to promote academic inspiration. Our students cultivate both academic and life skills including problem solving, effective writing, researching and analytical thinking.
