In 1991, Mundelein College, the last women's college in Illinois, affiliated with Loyola University Chicago. The following year, faculty from the Communications Departments of both schools decided to make a documentary about the affiliation and the issues surrounding women's education. Bren Ortega Murphy, Jeffery Harder, Mary Pat Haley, BVM, and Mary Alma Sullivan, BVM, researched women's colleges and women's education in the United States and interviewed administrators, faculty members, and students from both Mundelein College and Loyola University to form the basis of the documentary. The film analyzes the history of women's education, examines the issues surrounding the closing of numerous women's colleges in the late 20th century, and specifically tells the story of Mundelein College. A College of Their Own was completed in 1998.
