The Women's Studies Program at the University of Connecticut began in 1974 and was the first formal program of its kind in the state.
The Women's Studies Program is a flexible interdisciplinary academic program devoted to the critical analysis of gender and the pursuit of knowledge about women. Combining methods and insights of traditional academic disciplines with the special insights of Women's Studies scholarship, our courses yield fresh perspectives, which illuminate the origins of and changes in diverse cultural and social arrangements. Additional information on the program is available on the program website .
