Welcome to Women's Studies at the University of Texas at Arlington!

As a discipline, Women's Studies addresses issues previously neglected by traditional disciplines, and adapts and redefines theories and methods from those disciplines. Women's studies is not simply the study of women and women's issues. It is the study of women which places women's own experiences at the center of inquiry. What other disciplines use as assumptions about women, Women's Studies poses as questions. As a result, Women's Studies produces its own body of scholarship, and at the same time casts new light on traditional disciplines.

The UTA Women's Studies Program is a flexible and coherent interdisciplinary program taught by faculty from diverse fields. The program offers students a unique opportunity to complement a traditional discipline with a self-designed minor. It also can constitute an area of concentration for the Interdisciplinary Studies major. Coursework prepares graduates for a variety of graduate programs and for careers in an increasingly gender-integrated workplace. These include, but are not limited to, social work, management, employee relations, sales, counseling and education.
