BA in Sociology - Gender and Society in Denver United States | University of Colorado Denver

A specialization in Gender and Society offers students insights into how gender shapes the lives of women, men, and those who identify outside traditional gender norms. This interdisciplinary program helps students cultivate analytical skills to assess how systemic inequalities, discrimination, and societal frameworks influence issues like reproductive rights, wage disparities, sexual violence, intimate partner abuse, and modern slavery. Graduates with this focus are prepared for careers in diverse fields including activism, therapy, healthcare administration, legislative work, corporate environments, and law enforcement.
Students considering this major should reach out to the Sociology undergraduate advisor early in their academic journey to learn about program requirements. Those transferring or returning to studies should schedule a meeting with the Sociology advisor to discuss fulfilling core course obligations.
These academic requirements may be updated periodically by the department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences maintains the authority to approve adjustments or alternatives when warranted. Consequently, the College recommends students frequently consult with both their major advisor and CLAS advisor to verify their academic plans before making final decisions.
