===Since 1970=== The 1970s saw considerable social change in Brasenose, with more post-graduate members and fewer domestic staff.<ref>Crook (2008). pp. 403β405, 418β420.</ref> In 1974 Brasenose became one of the first men's colleges to admit women as full members, bringing an end to 470 years of the college as a men-only institution. The other previously all-male colleges to begin admitting women in 1974 were [[Jesus College, Oxford|Jesus College]], [[Hertford College, Oxford|Hertford]], [[St Catherine's College, Oxford|St Catherine's]], and [[Wadham College, Oxford|Wadham]].<ref name="Women_at_Oxford">{{cite web |url=http://www.ox.ac.uk/about/oxford-people/women-at-oxford |title=Women at Oxford |publisher=[[University of Oxford]] |access-date=12 June 2016}}</ref> The College's first female Governing Body Fellow, lawyer Mary Stokes, was elected in May 1981 and took up her Fellowship in October 1982. There was also considerable construction work to ensure that undergraduates could be housed for the entirety of their degree on the main site and on the Frewin site;<ref>Crook (2008). pp. 403β405.</ref> this objective was finally achieved in 1997 with the opening of the St Cross annexe and Frewin extension.<ref name="crook430">Crook (2008). p. 430.</ref> Brasenose's finances were secured, and it thus entered the twenty-first century in a good position as regards financial, extracurricular and academic success.<ref>Crook (2008). pp. 400β402, 430β432.</ref> As of 2022 the college admits undergraduates for most major courses in 17 subject groups across science, humanities, social science and arts.<ref>{{cite web |title=Undergraduate Courses |url=https://www.bnc.ox.ac.uk/prospective-students/undergraduate-admissions/undergraduate-courses |website=Brasenose |access-date=27 April 2022}}</ref>
