Columbia was the last Ivy League university to admit women, in 1983. Cornell was the first Ivy League to admit women, since it was established as a coeducational university upon its foundation in 1865. Most of the Ivy League universities (Ivy League unversities being UPenn, Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, Princeton, and Cornell) remained open to only men up until the late 1960s, though throughout that time they maintained close ties with the Seven Sisters women's colleges close by (Radcliffe, Smith, Barnard, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, and Wellesley). The Ivy League universities are among the most prestigious and eldest collegiate institutions of the eastern US who bound themselves together to form an athletic conference (hence the "league") with their respective sports teams.

I believe it was Columbia in 1983. The only reason the institution took so long was of the existence of Barnard College under the university. Barnard today is a female only college almost fully integrated within Columbia'a undergraduate program.
