Formerly a women's college, it has been coeducational since 1979 and now prides itself on being "a modern, forward-looking, intellectually ambitious college".

Founded in 1879 as the The Society of Oxford Home-Students, today it is one of the larger colleges in Oxford, with around 450 undergraduate and 200... graduate students, in a roughly equal mix of men and women. As of 2008, the college had an estimated financial endowment of £38m. What is now St Anne's College began life as part of the Association for the Education of Women, the first institution in Oxford to allow for the education of women , then later the Society of Oxford Home-Students. In 1942, it became the St Anne's Society, and received a university charter to be founded as a women-only college in 1952.
