This thesis aims to examine the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic had on women in higher education, specifically tracking the trajectories of undergraduate women in college.

Open-ended questions were used to collect baseline qualitative data about the affected community. After collecting these data, a short survey was developed. This survey consisted of multiple-choice questions to help formulate quantitative data surrounding the issue. Overall, this study incorporated varied personal experiences from women at the undergraduate level. This study aimed to highlight data on the potential outcome of the trajectories of undergraduate women to better understand the immediate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
