Preferred term

coeducation  

Definition

  • Coeducation is a term used to describe the mixed schooling of male and female students in the same institution. Whereas the vast majority of public elementary, middle, and high schools are coeducational, and most colleges and universities in the United States are at this time coeducational, with both males and females enrolled, this was not the case throughout U.S. history.
