The graduate program in Women's and Gender Studies enhances students' preparedness for pursuing higher academic degrees or entering diverse professional fields within their chosen disciplines. The WGS Program maintains collaborative ties with departments including Anthropology, Art and Art History, Communication Studies, English, History, Political Science, and Sociology. Students enrolled in programs without an official WGS specialization can pursue it as a minor. Both the specialization and minor options offer rigorous academic engagement, allowing students to broaden their graduate studies through the interdisciplinary lens of Women's and Gender Studies, focusing on gender, sexuality, and diversity issues.
