Women’s Faculty was established within the framework of the Hadhramout University of Science and Technology, based on Republican Decree No. (45) for the year 1993, which stipulated the establishment of Hadhramout University of Science and Technology. Proceeding from Decree No. (18) of 1995 regarding Yemeni government universities, the establishment of the Women’s College came as one of the first three faculties on which the Hadhramout University of Science and Technology was founded.

The study of the faculty began in the academic year 1996/1997 with the establishment of the Home Economics Department. The number of female students did not exceed (12) students. In 1998, the Kindergarten Department was established and the number of female students did not exceed (12). Thus, there were only 24 female students at the time, and two other scientific departments were added to the faculty in the academic year 2000/2001, including the Islamic Studies and English.

The philosophy of establishing the college came from the political leadership’s endeavor to absorb the largest possible number of girls towards university education. It aims to find a distinct and qualitative education that meets the desires of girls and fulfills the needs of society and the labor market in a way that serves aspects of human and economic development in Yemen.

Today, the faculty grants a bachelor’s degree in five departments: Kindergarten, Islamic Studies, English Language, Social Work and Art Education. There are more than (800) students studying in those departments.

The faculty sought towards excellence and quality through the continuous development of the study plans for the departments, which will contribute to its inclusion in the quality program, academic development and self-reliance in the future. The faculty laboratories and its physical components are currently being developed by rehabilitating the nutrition lab, the computer lab, the sewing lab and the university kindergarten. As well as the development of the library and its contents of books and periodicals.
