Guerrier Courses

The Guerrier Courses in Moscow was a University for women between 1872 and 1918. It was one of the largest and most prominent women's higher education institution in Imperial Russia, second only to the Bestuzhev Courses.^[1]

Like its Saint Petersburg counterpart, the Guerrier Courses was established to prevent Russian women from studying abroad, which they had done since the Universities were closed to women in Russia in 1863. They provided university level education, but in contrast to the courses for men, they were not allowed to issue any formal degree, nor were they given government funding. They were closed in 1888 but opened again in 1900. In 1911, women were finnally accepted at the Russian Universities, and thus the women universities were incorporated in to the regular universities, in the case of the Guerrier Courses in to the Moscow University.
