The Department of Women's Studies offers a study abroad program with exciting opportunities for upper level undergraduates and graduate students in Women's Studies or other fields who have completed as least 3 core courses in Women's Studies to study "Women's Human Rights, Citizenships, and Identities in a North American Context" for a term or a 3-week summer session either in Canada or Mexico. Students will pay UC tuition and receive UC credit while studying abroad. Starting in the 2005-2006 school year and for the next 2-3 years after that, stipends will be available to subsidize students who wish to study women's/gender studies in Canada at York University (Toronto) (link: http://www.yorku.ca/web/index.htm) or Mount Saint Vincent University (Halifax) (link: http://www.msvu.ca/) or in Mexico at El Collegio de la Frontera Norte (Ciudad Juarez--graduate students only) (link: www.colef.mx) or the Universidad de las Americas (Puebla) (link: http://www.msvu.ca/). The 2006 summer institute will be held at York and the 2007 summer institute will be held at UDLA in Puebla.
