Women's and Gender Studies

The Women's and Gender Studies Program is an interdisciplinary program that seeks to enhance the student's knowledge of gender roles and relations across cultures and history.

The flexibility of the Women's and Gender Studies major makes it ideal for combining with other majors. Popular choices for other majors are Non-Profit Management, Public Relations, Journalism and Mass Communication, Political Science, Sociology, History, and Human Relations.
