Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the University of Kansas

Why Women's Studies?

A degree in Women's Studies will provide you with a solid liberal arts and social science background. Today's employers want to hire people who can deal with concepts and abstractions; who are imaginative, creative, and analytical and who can write persuasively and articulate a position clearly. These are just the kinds of skills that you will develop working toward your degree in women's studies.

Your understanding of women's and gender issues will help you whether you work in business, journalism, marketing, government, public service, or social services. Many women's studies majors continue their studies in graduate work leading to careers in law, social work, medicine, teaching, or research.

Mission Statement

The Women’s Studies Program fosters the interdisciplinary study of women, gender, and sexuality, through a rich multicultural and internationally informed academic environment. Our Program seeks to produce intellectually rigorous, analytical and creative work that embodies the perspective of gender in its local and global dimensions through teaching, research, and outreach activities.
