Finding Gender Studies Programs

Are you interested in persuing an education in gender studies? Here is a list of a somewhat diverse range of institutions (public, private, large, small, geographically varied). Be sure to verify the URL and program details on the actual websites.

How to Expand Your Search and Find More Programs:

  • Use Search Engines with Specific Queries:
    • "gender studies programs united states universities"
    • "women's and gender studies departments US colleges"
    • "feminist studies degree programs USA"
    • "sexuality studies programs undergraduate graduate"
  • University Directories and Rankings:
    • Use university ranking websites (like US News & World Report, QS Rankings, Times Higher Education) and search for universities known for humanities or social sciences. Then, navigate to their websites and search for Gender Studies or related programs.
    • Many university directories allow you to filter by subject area.
  • Professional Organizations (Less Direct URL Lists, but good for finding universities):
    • National Women's Studies Association (NWSA): While they don't provide a direct URL list, their website and conferences will feature many universities with programs. https://www.nwsa.org/
    • Consortium of Higher Education LGBT Resource Professionals: Can help identify universities with LGBTQ+ Studies resources, which are often linked to Gender Studies. https://www.lgbtcampus.org/
  • State University Systems: If you are interested in programs within a specific state, look at the state university system website (e.g., University of California system, State University of New York system). These systems often have a directory of all campuses and their departments.
  • "Liberal Arts Colleges": Liberal Arts colleges often have strong humanities programs, including Gender Studies. Search for lists of "top liberal arts colleges" and explore their websites.

Remember to always verify the information directly on the university's official website as program details and URLs can change. This list is a good starting point for your exploration. Good luck!
