Women's and Gender Studies offers a versatile interdisciplinary curriculum focused on examining gender critically and exploring women's contributions across different cultures and historical periods. By integrating traditional liberal arts methodologies with specialized gender scholarship, our courses provide innovative viewpoints on how gender interacts with factors like race, class, religion, and nationality, prompting students to consider gender's societal impact beyond their immediate context. With its interdisciplinary approach and focus on analytical skills, the program equips students to apply this critical understanding in both personal and professional spheres as engaged global citizens.
Students majoring in Women's and Gender Studies gain expertise in both humanities and social science methodologies, with required coursework extending beyond mainstream American perspectives. The program's core classes balance theoretical foundations with practical applications, while advanced courses strengthen writing and research capabilities. BA candidates complete humanities-oriented Women's and Gender Studies requirements while choosing complementary electives from either social sciences or humanities disciplines to fulfill their major requirements.
