Please note that admission to the Women's Studies M.A. Program at OSU is very competitive. We admit approximately 15% of applications received; generally 8-10 new M.A. students each year. Experience has shown that the best predictors of success in our program are the Women's Studies course requirements and the undergraduate GPA. We highly recommend that students who do not have this background acquire it before applying.Additional Information
