The Women’s Center exists to provide programming and support for women-identified students and their allies on campus.

The Women’s Center exists to provide programming and support for students across a wide range of issues that relate to gender, equity, and justice. Our comprehensive, intersectional, and welcoming approach to the community allows for uplift for individuals of any background and women-identified students and their allies to feel protected and adequately represented. Our programming and services cover a variety of topics, needs, and special interests that allow for community and engagement to manifest. These programs and services cover, but are not limited to, violence against women, women’s empowerment, women’s health, and other identities that are plagued by systematic oppression. Overall, the approach of the UIS Women’s Center is intended to be intersectional, recognizing that not all of those who may identify as women experience life the same way.

In alignment with our mission to foster a supportive environment for all students that values and encourages individuals of all backgrounds and identities to engage with our programs and initiatives, no individuals will be excluded from full and equal participation in the activities, services, and functions of this program based on their identification as a member of a protected class. We welcome the participation of all members of the UIS Community as their interests and our programs align.

The Women’s Center is located in the Student Life Building Room 15 and is generally open 9am to 5pm Monday through Friday.

Welcome to Graduate Education at UIS

We are pleased that you have chosen to explore our graduate degree and certificate programs. More than 40% of UIS students are engaged in graduate study, and most were attracted to UIS by an impressive combination of factors that include educational quality, value and campus location and setting.

Faculty

UIS faculty members are talented researchers and scholars who enjoy and excel at teaching. Many of our graduate programs provide exceptional opportunities for students to engage in faculty-supervised scholarship, research or highly valued pre-professional practical experiences as part of degree work. Our classrooms are technologically sophisticated, and we have received national recognition for our innovative use of educational technology and institution-wide excellence in online teaching and learning.

Affordability

As a public institution in the Midwest, UIS tuition rates are affordable and very cost-competitive. Online courses are popular even among our on-campus graduate students, and many of our part-time students find that they can reduce their commuting time and costs by taking advantage of our online and blended courses. UIS also offers a number of competitive graduate assistantship and internship programs that can be a significant source of support while completing a graduate degree.
