Undergraduate Programs

Major in Women’s Studies

The major in Women’s Studies offers students the opportunity for a more in-depth study of gender power dynamics through their intersections with race, class, sexuality, ability and nation. The WS major is designed as a stand-alone major and helps students develop strong research, communication, collaborative, and critical thinking skills. The major, like the minor, helps students better understand complex issues around diversity in this increasingly globalized world. Our major also provides students with a strong understanding of feminist methodologies and the opportunity to apply that knowledge in a Senior Capstone Course. Moreover, our major is unique in that it includes a Women and Computers course, in which students can develop the technological skills that are so in demand in contemporary society.

The major, like the minor, also nicely compliments numerous majors throughout the university, which affords students the opportunity to double major.

Minor in Women’s Studies

 The minor in Women’s Studies offers students the opportunity to develop critical analysis of gender in the context of race, class, sexuality, and nation. The minor nicely compliments numerous majors throughout the university, including Sociology, English, Communications Studies, Community Studies, Psychology, Journalism, and so on.
