Earning a Bachelor of Arts in GSWS from VCU exposes you to innovative analytical, theoretical, and creative perspectives for interpreting contemporary society. You'll pursue meaningful social transformation while developing profound insights into tackling systemic inequalities across social, cultural, economic, and political spheres. Graduates can pursue diverse career paths in fields such as nonprofit organizations, social services, healthcare, arts and media, publishing, education, government agencies, international development, and legal advocacy for social justice. The Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies (GSWS) Department fosters societal change through interdisciplinary feminist scholarship and practice. We generate and share feminist knowledge while maintaining strong ties to community involvement and social movements. Our work examines how societal differences perpetuate various forms of inequality, recognizing that gender and sexuality intersect fundamentally with other dimensions of identity and experience.
