Welcome
Welcome to the Women's Studies Program at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Students are often drawn to Women's Studies

courses, and to the major or minor in Women's Studies, by their questions or life experiences. For instance, do you wonder why women (as a group) make about 3/4 of the wages that men earn for the same work? Have you questioned why most of the artists in many fields who are considered great are men? Do you want to know why women are responsible for most of the domestic work and childcare worldwide? Are issues around reproductive choice, gender identity and sexual orientation fascinating to you? These as well as many other compelling questions concerning gender and women's studies are explored in depth in a wide range of courses and extracurricular opportunities in Women's Studies.
We invite you to explore this website for more information on courses, students, activities, and faculty. Graduates of the program are doing exciting and important work; Women's Studies can help you reach your career and personal goals, too. Contact the program director with any remaining questions you have.
