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.
