<p>Any recommendations. Preferably small schools, but open to any.</p>
<p>+++if they offer large fellowships that cover most tuition.</p>
<p>This is for my friend. She's interested in pursuing a masters, and told me to ask on behalf of her. SHe also mentioned to ask about possibilities of maybe joint masters/phd programs.</p>
<p>btw she has about a 3.5 from Dickinson college</p>
<p>Generally speaking you'll find that only the larger universities will have graduate programs in "studies" fields. That said, take a look at Berkeley, Minnesota & Maryland. In looking around I was rather surprised to see that Wisconsin only had a certificate program. I have heard that there are only 5 or 6 schools in the US with actual graduate programs in Women's Studies. Several others such as USC and Wisconsin have certificate programs.</p>
<p>Also, your friend should be aware that 1) academic jobs in the humanities are few and far between and 2) those in "studies" fields are even harder to find. </p>
<p>She might want to take a look at the Chronicla of Higher Education's forums to get an idea of what's up in the field:</p>

<p>just enter "Women's Studies" in the search field. Also try "Gender Studies".</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
