The Institute for Gender and Women's Studies offers a two year Master of Arts and a one year Graduate Diploma in Gender and Women's Studies. It provides students with an interdisciplinary and transnational perspective with an emphasis on the Middle East and North Africa region. Two additional areas of focus are being launched in the 2007-2008 academic year: "Gender and Justice" and "Gender and Development."

For more information see program description and requirements. For questions related to AUC graduate admission requirements, tuition, university scholarships see the Graduate Admissions.

The IGWS graduate center furthermore hosts the Graduate Academic Forum organized and coordinated by graduate students across the social sciences and humanities interested in furthering academic debate on gender issues.

Finally, 'Surfacing,' an international, on-line peer-reviewed graduate student journal to be launched in the fall 2007 is housed and supported by the IGWS graduate center.
