Multicultural Women’s & Gender Studies

TWU's Division of Multicultural Women’s and Gender Studies is unique in Texas: we are the only program in the state to offer undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees, making MWGS students part of a rich and vibrant community. Our students experience a transdisciplinary, transgressive and transformative education taught by a nationally recognized faculty while working closely with a MWGS advisor to develop a course of study that supports their interests and aspirations.

As the largest public university primarily for women in the U.S. with one of the top 10 most diverse student populations in the nation, TWU’s MWGS program offers a multicultural curriculum that focuses on feminist and womanist scholarship on behalf of human rights and social justice and prepares students for a range of careers in nonprofit organizations and NGOs, higher education, the arts, the business sphere and politics/government.

Agatha Beins, PhD, is the Division of Multicultural Women's and Gender Studies lead. If you have questions about our program, please email womenstudies@twu.edu.
