Bachelor in Women's & Gender Studies

The construct of gender shapes social orders, human institutions and individual experiences. If you pursue a second major or a minor in Women's and Gender Studies (WGS), you will develop critical thinking, research and analysis, and oral and written communication skills. The discipline of WGS recognizes the importance of diversity and the consequences of differential power and opportunity. In providing foundational knowledge and understanding of such issues, the program prepares you to incorporate such understanding into your social life and professional career to help promote a more inclusive and equitable world.

The Center for Women's and Gender Studies curriculum will help you further your skills and awareness of these topics, a foundation that will serve you well in careers in arts, business, education, healthcare, journalism, law, science, and social services.

The B.A. in Women's & Gender Studies can enhance your studies as a second major or a minor. Pursuing further studies in the WGS field will teach you:

How the construct of gender identity shapes experiences
How writers, artists, scholars, researchers and clinical practitioners represent or respond to those gendered experiences
How institutions and structures of power shape experiences of gender, embodiment and sexuality
How to engage with the established field of women's and gender studies and the body of scholarship it has produced
How gender studies can revise critical methods in many other scholarly fields
