The Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program gives students a theoretical base for a systematic analysis of the construction of gender and the historical, economic, political, social, and cultural experiences of women. It is an interdisciplinary program drawing on resources from the Social Sciences, the Humanities, and the Sciences. The Women's Studies Program at Dartmouth was established in 1978, and was the first such program in any of the previously all-male Ivy League colleges. Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies may be undertaken as a program for a major, minor, and modified major and a certificate. Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies graduates report that the critical tools learned in the Program have helped them succeed in a wide variety of careers and further studies. Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies offers a range of interdisciplinary courses as well as an extensive list of associated courses, offered by other departments and programs that have central focus on gender or women. The major is administered by the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Faculty Steering Committee. Students design their major plans in consultation with the Chair. Only the Chair may sign major cards or approve major plans in Degree Works. Students interested in becoming majors should consult the Chair well in advance of their intended declaration of a major.
