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.<\/p><p>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.

So, it had a curriculum review to raise the standards of its programs to effectively prepare our graduates for graduate studies, quality services in the job market, and for job creation, using research as a tool for solving critical national issues.<\/p><p>The results of that curriculum review were threefold. First, it was agreed that the name of the college be changed from the Honors College of Research &amp; Gender Studies to the College of Gender Studies &amp; Interdisciplinary Research.<\/p><p>In addition to the change of the college\u2019s name, it was also agreed that the college offered four minor areas of study to reflect the structure of the other undergraduate colleges at the UL. The final consensus was that the Interdisciplinary Research program be institutionalized and offered to all students enrolled in the undergraduate colleges of the UL.<\/p><p>In April of 2023, at the end of academic 2021-2022, the college wrote a Petition to the ACC and the Faculty Senate to change the name of the college, offer four minor areas of study, and approve the research courses to be offered to all students of the UL.<br \/>On April 25 &amp; 27, 2023, both ACC and Faculty Senate approved the Petition. The College of Gender Studies &amp; Interdisciplinary Research was officially approved to offer four minor areas of study including Gender &amp; Research; Gender &amp; Economics; Gender &amp;
