Web Part attribute dropdown text

Question

I'm kind of new to working with Web Parts so excuse me if I sound ignorant :)

I have this attribute for a web part where a user selects which college they belong to in the University, based on a dropdown. Currently the way it works is that it uses the enum names of the colleges as both the value and the display text for each dropdown item. What I would like, is to have text specified for the enums to be used for the display text. For example, one of the enum values is ArtsandSciences, but I would like it to be displayed as Arts and Sciences, spaces included. I've done some Googling but haven't been able to find any answers. What can I do?

public enum Colleges
{
    ArtsandSciences,
    AppliedScienceandTechnology,
    Education,
    Nursing
};

private Colleges college = Colleges.ArtsandSciences;

[WebBrowsable(true),
    WebDescription("The college you belong to"),
    WebDisplayName("Your college"),
    Category("Digital Measures"),
    DefaultValue(Colleges.ArtsandSciences),
    Personalizable(PersonalizationScope.User)]
public Colleges College
{
    get { return college; }
    set { college = value; }
}

There is no such functionality out of the box for this.
