The gender, sexuality and women's studies program offers both major and minor options for students seeking to:
Engage in rigorous examination of feminist theory, gender identity, and sexual orientation
Hone analytical abilities, research methodologies, and effective communication techniques
Become knowledgeable champions for fairness and societal change
Pursue meaningful academic work with tangible real-world implications
Join vibrant feminist and queer communities both on campus and beyond
Students frequently pair gender, sexuality and women's studies (GSW) with another discipline. For example, those pursuing social work or psychology might complement their studies with a GSW minor to specialize in women's advocacy. Aspiring lawyers often major in GSW to challenge systemic gender bias. Regardless of your career aspirations, GSW coursework delivers the foundational knowledge and framework to support your goals for making a difference.
