The Bachelor of Arts in Women's and Gender Studies equips students of all genders for diverse careers focused on advancing social equity and justice. This program empowers students to create meaningful change by blending theoretical knowledge with practical application. Learners develop the ability to recognize, critically examine, and address interconnected systems of bias that marginalize individuals based on gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, ability, age, socioeconomic status, religion, and national origin. Beyond conventional coursework, the program offers unique experiential learning through initiatives like middle school mentorship programs, prison education courses, nonprofit internships, and undergraduate research presentations. Numerous students pursue dual majors, combining Women's and Gender Studies with fields like Social Work, Psychology, Education, or Criminology to prepare for professions requiring nuanced understanding of gender and sexuality issues.
