NWSA GUIDE TO GRADUATE WORK IN WOMEN'S STUDIES

Spring 2008

Dear Colleague:

The National Women's Studies Association has begun to update its most-requested publication, the Guide to Graduate Work in Women’s Studies.  This valuable tool offers prospective students detailed information about programs’ faculty, courses, and specializations along with an introductory essay on how to choose a graduate program.  It is the most comprehensive listing of graduate Women’s Studies programs available in a convenient format. 

We expect again to introductory essays to include graduate students’ voices—current students as well as alumnae—and to highlight courses that examine race, ethnicity, LGBTQ issues, and globalization as well as online offerings.  We will also include information about graduates’ career placement paths for prospective students to consider. 

In order to have your program’s information included in the latest edition of the Guide which will be available as a free searchable database, and a complete download on the NWSA website as well as for purchase in print form, you must pay a $35 listing fee ($55 non-members) by May 31, 2008 along with your program’s updated information. 

Please submit your payment online below. You will then be taken to a page where you can send us your information electronically. (preferred)
Click here to see a sample of a listing in the previous (2006) Graduate Guide.

We expect to launch the 2008 Guide in late summer, just in time for prospective students to consider as they research programs and prepare applications for 2009 admission.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about this process, and I look forward to receiving your updated program listing.

Sincerely,
Allison B. Kimmich
Executive Director
