Until recently college education for women in the United Arab Emirates was not considered to be an important investment, since girls were expected to stop schooling after graduation from high school, get married, and begin a family. Since becoming a nation in the past 30 plus years, however, the Emirati government has been working to ensure that all Emirates are educated through elementary school, and have launched a program to provide Emirati women a college education. While the recognized function of education is to provide information about the world, one unintentional result is that attitudes are liberalized. This study examines 104 Emirate female college students' perceptions of changes in attitudes, and expectations for their futures. A questionnaire was developed specifically for the study. Results show that attitudes about family relationships and friendships are undergoing change, as well as expectations for future employment.
