Overview

You’ll use feminist theory to examine issues such as race, ethnicity, sexuality, class and religion. You’ll draw on a variety of disciplines, including history, economics, psychology, communication, religious studies and political science. You’ll study world-changing women and analyze the role of gender as it plays out in the social and political landscape today.

This major’s flexibility allows you to go deeper in an area of interest, and many of our students double-major in programs such as English, psychology and nursing. Whatever path you choose, your knowledge of Women’s and Gender Studies will enrich your perspective and skill set.
