Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the diverse experiences and representations of women within a broad range of contexts and perspectives. It allows students to investigate how concepts such as gender, race or class develop and continue to shape culture and society.

What's Special about the Program?

• We offer a major and a minor in Women's Studies.
• We have more than 75 courses available for students.

What Can You Do with a Women's Studies Major?

• Maybe a better question is "What Can't You Do?" Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary field, meaning that students are not limited by discipline, giving them tremendous breadth of academic experience.
• Our alumni have gone on to study law, medicine, politics, literature, society, business - you name it!
• Our alumni work in the fields of human relations, social work, education, science, the arts, the corporate world - again, YOU can choose your future in Women's Studies.
• Check our past newsletters to read the columns on "Staying in Touch" to see what our graduates say about what they have accomplished.
