History
Hunter College was founded in New York in 1870 as a teacher training college for young women. It was first called the "Normal College of the City of New York." The curriculum gradually expanded to become a fully accredited liberal arts college for women. In 1914, the college changed its name to "Hunter College of the City of New York" for its first president, Thomas Hunter. In 1961, the City University of New York (CUNY) was established, and Hunter College became the founding member. In 1964, male students were admitted to Hunter College, though it would largely be known for its significant contribution to women's education in the United States.
