A researcher studies the effect of admitting men on the performance of women in traditionally all female colleges. For the study, she selects two traditionally all female colleges that are of comparable size, have comparable admission requirements and costs, and attract a similar type of student. One of these colleges is soon to begin admitting men. She obtains academic aptitude scores for all the women in both colleges before men were admitted. One year after men were admitted to one college, the researcher again obtains academic aptitude tests for women at both colleges. She compares the scores for the two colleges to identify the effect of the college admitting men. What quasi-experimental design is this study?
