Overview

By studying Women’s and Gender Studies from Colorado State University , students learn skills that work towards dismantling gender-based inequality and promoting gender equity in various arenas of social life. The Women’s and Gender Studies major allows students to acquire the academic preparation to address the complexity of intersecting inequalities rooted in gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity, class, ability, religion, and nationality in U.S. society.

Quick Facts:

Like a microscope that brings the world into focus, this framework allows us to see how our social and cultural lives are governed by gender relations.
For example, have you considered how institutions, organizations, or the economy are gendered? Do you ever wonder why some images are more prevalent in popular culture than others? Looking at the world through a Women’s and Gender Studies lens allows us to more directly and effectively address issues of social justice and to bring about social change as it pertains to gender relations in the contemporary world.

Upon completion of the Women’s and Gender Studies degree at Colorado State University, students will demonstrate:

Knowledge of academic disciplines from feminist and intersectional perspectives
An understanding of the historic and contemporary contributions of women of all cultures
Effective oral communication, writing, and research skills
Development of critical thinking skills as well as intellectual and personal growth

A critical ideological understanding regarding women and gender implicit in social institutions and structures
