Providing Intellectual Perspective
The Women’s and Gender Studies Department offers an interdisciplinary academic major, two minors, a Master of Arts degree, and a Graduate Certificate in order to provide intellectual perspective and life enriching skills. WGST courses are either stand-alone, or cross-listed with Business, Criminology, Communications, History, Literature, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, and Social Work to critically investigate issues of women, gender, and sexuality in historical and contemporary perspectives.
Undergraduate Programs
Through a diverse curriculum that explores historical, cultural, political, and economic aspects of gender and identity, students develop a deep understanding of systemic inequalities and the strategies to address them. Whether you are a new or transfer/community college student this program is for you.
Graduate Programs
The interdisciplinary nature of the women’s and gender studies program allows students, in consultation with the graduate advisor, to create tailored programs of study designed to meet their goals.
