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.
