Coeducation lasted only until 1851, when it was divided into a Female Department and a Male Department.

The changing demography of Texas and relocation of the 1963 (NAIA), 1965 (NAIA), 1976, 2003 local railroad made it increasingly diffi cult for college students to get transportation to Independence.
