Since April 22, 1977, Women's Studies at the University of Georgia has enjoyed a longstanding devotion to issues of gender, race, class, and sexuality. In the past 28 years, feminist scholars have contributed to the reinterpretation of existing data and to the presentation of new knowledge about the diversity of women’s experiences. Through course work and outreach, the Institute for Women’s Studies offers students an opportunity to explore women’s lives in global and multicultural contexts. Today, undergraduates students wishing to pursue Women's Studies at the University of Georgia may earn a minor, or major degree. Graduate students may earn a certificate.
