Bachelor of Arts - Women's and Gender Studies

The Bachelor of Arts in Women's and Gender Studies lets candidates explore the lives, voices, histories, roles, and ideas of women. They will learn how gender, together with race, class, and sexuality, affects all lives. When students major in Women's and Gender Studies (WGS), they will analyze how gender structures societies past and present, students will study how it affects people at the individual and group levels, and they will explore paths to achieve equality for all people.

Studies will be interdisciplinary, combining core Women's and Gender Studies courses with classes in fields such as political science, crime and justice studies, health and society, and history that are taught by Women's and Gender Studies faculty or faculty affiliated with Women's and Gender Studies.

With a degree in Women's and Gender Studies, graduates can pursue careers in advocacy, business, communications, education, family services, human resources, law, marketing and sales, nonprofit organizations, and politics.
