The Master of Arts in gender, women, and sexuality studies equips students with research capabilities and gender analysis expertise to tackle real-world challenges. This program serves as an ideal terminal degree for those seeking graduate-level education.

Offering flexibility, this 30-credit curriculum delivers comprehensive training in feminist theory, research methods, and practical applications. Every student has internship opportunities and must undertake an applied project involving gender-related research on specific, practical issues. Final projects can include diverse formats like program evaluations, funding applications, pilot studies of new approaches, or educational designs. Such projects often pave the way for careers in social services, policy formulation, program analysis, and related sectors.
