Gender & Women’s Studies

The Gender & Women’s Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary program that crosses traditional academic boundaries, pedagogical perspectives, and student experiences. The program offers a comprehensive study for students interested in the construction of gender, femininity, masculinity, sexuality and intersectionality.

A minor in Gender & Women’s Studies complements any major by expanding students’ knowledge and understanding of the human experience and what it means to be gendered.
