Founded as America's first public college for women,
MUW has a century-long tradition of preparing women for leadership by providing a learning environment rich
 with female role models and opportunities for achievement.
 The W was an early national leader in providing professional preparation for women along with liberal arts education.
Given projections for the work force of the future,
the education and leadership development of women
has never been a more compelling national priority.
MUW's women's emphasis creates an
equity-oriented environment for all students and
 a climate in which diversity is appreciated and embraced.
Our goal is to continue our commitment
to the unique educational needs and
leadership development of women.
