This paper will examine gender disparities in Ghana's tertiary education system and make the case that, while a great deal of progress has been made, gender inequality remains an issue that must continue to be monitored. The author of this paper had the pleasure of participating in a short-term, faculty-led, study abroad experience in Ghana in March of 2019 as part of a 3-credit course that examined global perspectives in higher education. The purpose of the course was to learn how higher education is structured in Ghana and some of the challenges and innovations surrounding higher education. During this study abroad course, the author, along with a group of their peers, visited five universities -- two public, one technical (also public), and two private. The author and their classmates met with administrators to learn about the administrative processes and challenges in tertiary education in Ghana and also had opportunities to speak to students. This paper will first, briefly explore the sociocultural factors that affect women's participation in tertiary education in Ghana. It will then discuss the problems women face when they enter tertiary education, how different types of institutions are serving women, and the progress that women have made. This paper will end with an overview and predictions for the future.
