History of Gender Studies & Interdisciplinary Research
The LUX-In-Tenebris Honors Scholars Program was founded in December 2011 through the vision of Dr. Emmet A. Dennis, the 13th President of the University of Liberia. The primary goal of the program was to develop the writing and research skills of the honors students within the undergraduate colleges of the University of Liberia.
After eight years of successfully operating as an Honors Program, the director and a team of honors faculty collaborated with experts in gender studies and research studies and developed a curriculum for a Three-Year Certificate Program in Interdisciplinary Research and a curriculum for a four-year Bachelor of Arts Degree Program in Gender Studies. Hence, the Honors College of Research & Gender Studies was established.
The Honors College of Research & Gender Studies was launched in September, 2019 and began operating as the Honors College of Research and Gender Studies in the First Semester of 2019-2020.
The College runs two academic departments offering:
- A four-year Bachelor of Arts Degree in Gender Studies
- Three-Year Certificate Program in Interdisciplinary Research Studies
- The LUX-In-Tenebris Honors Scholars Program
