We are especially pleased to make this valuable resource more widely available than ever before via the NWSA website; a print version is available for purchase through on-line sales below:

It has been our pleasure to edit and coordinate work on this fourth edition of the National Women's Studies Association Guide to Graduate Work in Women’s and Gender Studies.  The Guide is our most-requested publication and plays an important role in defining the scope and variety of graduate studies in the United States.

We have made every effort to be exhaustive in listing programs, contacting all of those included in the 2000 edition of the Guide along with nearly two dozen programs that had not been listed previously. 

New features include essays by current or former graduate students; advice about the application process from graduate directors and chairs; more detailed information about program and department fellowship or assistantship opportunities; and information about career placements.  Other features of the Guide remain the same—the programs continue to be listed in alphabetical order, and the appendices include separate listings of programs by state and programs by degrees.
