In 1978 the first Committee of Women's Studies was formed by the faculty of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences [HSS] and the College of Home Economics (became College of Human Development and Education [HDE] in 1995). Between 1978 and 1981 the Committee developed the women's studies minor which was approved by the North Dakota Board of Higher Education on February 24 1981. The first operational budget for the Women's Studies department came about in 1992 when the Colleges of HSS and HDE each contributed funds. In 1993 a music event took place which provided additional funding for the department.

“Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary academic program that focuses on women in society and offers an undergraduate minor and a graduate emphasis. Founded in 1978 the program is sponsored jointly by the College of Arts Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Human Development and Education.” (NDSU Women's Studies web site, March 6, 2006)

The material within the Women's Studies series consists of background information on the program, curriculum offerings (1981-1997), Women's Week Programs and information (1983-2005), and issues from a Newsletter titled Women's Studies at NDSU ( 1994-1996).
