Our Bachelor of Arts in Women's and Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary study of women and gender in cross-cultural and historical perspectives. Students will explore how people's gendered experiences have been shaped by history, culture, nationality, and class while gaining knowledge and developing skills to explore research and prevention strategies.
Courses in the program are coordinated through the Women's and Gender Studies, founded in 1982 - one of the oldest such scholarly centers in the country. Students have the opportunity to conduct research with faculty on issues related to women and gender.
An Online BA in Women’s and Gender Studies is also available.
