I researched it a little. The college seems great, the facillities are very nice, and there is an active student ambulance service. Post-Bacs are "Frances Perkins Scholars."
The only reason I didn't investigate further was that I found a program that fits me even better... but I would have liked to ask some questions. As I researched, I didn't find evidence of a single Perkins scholar who was male.
The undergrad portion of the school is still all women; the Perkins program is open to men and women. Still... I didn't see any guys in the photos of current or previous classes, or in the rosters. More discussion might have cleared that up for me, or it might have led me to the conclusion that guys are not actually all that welcome, in practice. Good luck to you, and let us know if you find out anything.
