• Female college students improve the academic outcomes of their male peers at public 4-year colleges in the US.
• An increase in the female share of a freshman cohort increases graduation rates for males in that cohort.
• There is no effect of cohort gender composition for females.
• Effects appear to operate through changes in the college learning environment.
