Overview

Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies students at Berea College learn to put feminism into practice in personal as well as professional contexts, gaining experience through a monthly colloquium series and labor positions available through the department and at the bell hooks center.

We also work with the Office of Internships and Career Development to place students in organizations that do social justice work. Students who elect to participate in an internship may use that experience to waive one of their concentration requirements.

We likewise work with the Center for International Education to coordinate course substitutions for majors and minors who take classes in the study of women, gender and/or sexuality abroad.

Careers and Outcomes

WGS majors have a world of options after they finish their undergraduate degrees. Graduates have gone on to graduate school in a variety of humanities and social science disciplines.

They’ve done social, legal and nonprofit work, marketing, communications and journalism, public relations and advertising. A WGS degree can lead to college or university administration, lobbying and political campaigning, or healthcare, just to name a few.
