Calumet College of Saint Joseph sits south of Chicago, in Whiting, Indiana. It is a 4-year, private institution and enrolls less than 800 students per year, though most of these are undergraduate students. They do offer on-campus housing and a low student-to-faculty ratio of 12 to 1 to these students, along with associate, bachelor’s, master’s degrees, and undergraduate certificates in business administration and management as well as degrees in business administration and operations.

Mississippi University for Women (MUW) is located in the remote town of Columbus, Mississippi and the name is a bit of a misnomer. The school has educated men for around 30 years and currently enrolls almost 3,000 students each year, about 20% of which are male. These students enjoy a relatively low student-to-faculty ratio of 14 to 1 and a solid retention rate of 75%. They can also choose to pursue a bachelor’s and/or master’s in business administration and management.
