Overview

Our students are encouraged to think outside the box, embrace multiple approaches, and become engaged citizens. The Global Gender Studies undergraduate program offers courses in three areas: Cultures and Identities; Women and Global Citizenship; and Gender and Public Policy. We are committed to intersectional analysis of gender, race, class, sexuality and disability.

Global Gender Studies at University at Buffalo has been a leader in the field for more than three decades. Our program offers today’s women and men courses in three interrelated areas: Cultures and Identities; Women and Global Citizenship; and Gender and Public Policy.

The Global Gender Studies faculty and its affiliated faculty members across the university work together to create an intellectual environment in which the changing roles and relationships of women and men throughout the globe can be studied and understood.

Employers need people who can think, research, write and solve problems. Our students are known for their ability to see connections and to integrate commitments to inclusion and justice, and our degrees help students stand out among their peers.

A bachelor's degree in Global Gender Studies prepares students for jobs in government, community service, national and international organizations, or graduate-level education.

Master's and doctoral students often pursue careers in academia, public policy, government, media and advocacy.
