Bachelor of Arts in Women’s and Gender Studies

Students develop an understanding of gender issues from an interdisciplinary perspective. We aim to show our students the real-life implications of their academic engagement in the context of globalization. Majors learn to recognize the social and ethical implications of knowledge practices and the relationship between theory and practice in both local and global contexts. We are dedicated to helping students analyze the gendered dimensions of culture, politics, ideas, and texts. Courses explore gender and justice issues and examine relations between feminist scholarship and activism. This major is often combined with another, allowing you to pursue a career in virtually any field.
