Integrated BA/MA Program in Women’s and Gender Studies

The Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies offers an integrated program to enable currently enrolled, highly motivated undergraduate students with strong intellectual capacities to earn a Bachelor of Arts in Women’s and Gender Studies and a Master of Arts in Women’s and Gender Studies within a five-year period. Eligible students in the integrated degree program will be granted their bachelor's degree upon satisfactory completion of BA degree requirements, which typically occurs at the end of the fourth year in the program.

The Integrated BA/MA (WGS) program serves to highlight the intellectual rigor of the WGS program; promote opportunities for undergraduate students to pursue advanced study; improve student preparation for competitive PhD programs; and improve job market opportunities for Liberal Arts graduates.

This program is open to current University of Texas at Austin WGS Undergraduates. Interested students should contact the Undergraduate Academic Advisor in Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies before the end of their Sophomore Year (if possible) to determine eligibility.
