It has been ten years since the Womens Studies course was opened for the first time in Korea. During those ten years, Womens Studies in Korea has grown remarkably; more than 20 universities/colleges have opened Womens Studies courses, the graduated program was established at Ewha Womans University, and the Korean Association of Women's Studies was inaugurated. However, looking at the undergraduate level, one can easily see the development was made in terms of quantity. In other words, even though the number of the universities/colleges which offer Womens Studies courses has increased, the courses are taught only at an introductory level. To solidify Womens Studies as a firmly established discipline, Womens Studies courses at the under-graduated level must be taught beyond the introductory level, and comprehended in the various disciplines closely related to Womens Studies. It is a well known fact that the United States has most advanced Womens Studies programs. For the establishment of the Womens Studies programs in Korea, it is worthwhile to analyze the present situation of the United States's Women's Studies undergraduate programs. Therefore, in order to seek the ways of establishing the Womens Studies program corresponding the Korean situation, we surveyed the academic options the programs confer and the ways the programs are operated The data for this paper were collected in the following way. 80 universities'colleges which have various Womens Studies program were chosen from "The Womens Studies Program 1985" in the Women's Studies Quarterly, Vol. XIII, and letters were sent asking about their programs. 23 universities' colleges replied, and out of them 20universities'colleges sent pretty detailed information about their programs. This information from the 20 universities'colleges served as the basis for the analysis of this paper. The results of the analysis can be summarized as follows: All of the Womens Studies programs of undergraduate schools in the U.S. are interdisciplinary, that is, they combined courses in various disciplines such as history, sociology, literature, language, art, political science, philosophy, psychology. Depending upon universities'colleges, womens studies program has various degrees, that is, some offer major, monir, double major, joint major, or certificates. It seems most of the Women's Studies courses are operated by programs or committee basis. Only one University, San Diego State University has an independent Women's Studies Department. Based on this survey, several suggestions are made in this paper for the establishment of the Womens Studies programs in Korea. They are enumerated from the easiest to the difficult one. Above all, it has to be emphasized that an organization is absolutely needed to control or take charge of the Womens Studies courses such as Womens Studies Departments, Women's Institutes, or Women's Centers in the universities' colleges. The first suggestion is about dividing Women's Studies course into two courses, i.e., Women's Studies I (Introductory course) and II (advanced course), or extending two-semester courses. By doing so, students would have a better access to the various womens issues and a deeper study on the course. The second suggestion is about making several disciplines open courses related to the Womens Studies issues. Form example, the Departments of Sociology could open a course, "Sex Role Socialization," the Department of History "Women and History," Law Departments "Legal Sexism," and so on. The third suggestion is about offering a minor or certificate system. In Korea, several universities have adopted a minor system. If many courses in Womens Studies are available, the Women's Studies can be easily set up as a minor. If there is and organization which takes charge of the Womens Studies courses, that organization could give a certificate to students who take a certain number of the Women's Studies courses. The fourth one is the installation of the Women's Studies Department, at the undergraduate level thought it is almost impossible in the current situation of Korea. Last but not the least, it is required to have workshops on Women's Studies continually among professors and instructors to make the Womens Studies consolidated as an established discipline.
