WOMEN’S STUDIES

Women's Studies connects different kinds of knowledge and insights across many subjects. The minor offers an interdisciplinary program that uses gender to examine such cultural variables as class, ethnicity, nationality, sexual identity, and age. The courses encourage students to develop critical thinking skills that will empower them as active learners and that will lead them to a better understanding of differences in the society that surrounds them. Fields such as gerontology, mass communication, recreation, criminology, economics, health services, social work, law, psychology, and education are increasingly offering special career opportunities to students with a background in Women's Studies.
