Students not enrolled in a Villanova graduate degree program who are applying for the freestanding certificate must submit
- an online application form
- an official transcript of all previous college work, showing a baccalaureate degree from an accredited university
- two letters of recommendation from people in a position to evaluate the applicant’s academic ability
- a personal statement indicating interests, plans, and objectives within the field of Gender and Women’s Studies.
Graduate students already enrolled at Villanova may apply through an internal application and a review of their graduate transcripts. Up to two courses may double-count toward both a graduate degree and the GWS graduate certificate.
The appplication form and the outline of the process is detailed on the Graduate Studies web pages. Deadlines and other important information is reflected in our academic calendar.
