Abstract

This article examines the role of the part-time degree course in higher education as it affects women's empowerment and motivation for participation in educational pro-grammes. It examines motives behind Nigerian women's educational participation in part-time degree courses in two of Nigeria's south-western universities. A sample of 200 women randomly drawn from all women enrolled in part-time degree courses in higher education was used for the study. The results from the data established that part-time degree programmes in higher education offered Nigerian women the opportunity to bridge the gender gap and achieve their potentials.
