It's time to bust a few stereotypes here. There was a time when college-bound women were said to be seeking an M-R-S degree. Katelynn Duane examines the issue, in this Bobcat Update. 

College is one of the last times that a high concentration of men and women can be found working together in the same place. The term M-R-S degree was coined in the 40's and is used to describe women who attend college to meet their soul mates.

The federal Department of Education recently released statistics that show women are more likely than men to receive bachelors degrees, and women -- on average -- have higher G-P-A's. Texas State Junior Rebekah Feltner says women don't go to college just to meet somebody.

The median age for women to get married for the first time is 27, often many years after graduation. Sociology professor Kelly Mosel says it's better for college-age women to focus on themselves and plan for their financial security rather than worrying about getting a ring or a new last name.
