Explore a Women's & Gender Studies major or minor!


Women's & Gender Studies is a multidisciplinary program that enriches the traditional liberal arts curriculum by adding new perspectives on women's lives and accomplishments. Based on the study of women in culture, society, and history, the program incorporates gender into other basic categories of analysis including the dynamics of social change, the creation and transmission of culture and the arts, the legacy and cultural construction of our physical and intellectual characteristics, and the origins and nature of current theories and social issues.

Women's & Gender Studies broadens the education of both male and female students and enhances their career preparation and professional opportunities wherever there is need to understand women and the new role that they play in society.
