Women's and Gender Studies Minor

The women's and gender studies minor helps students to reshape their thinking about culture and societies. We offer a variety of perspectives that uncover the dynamics of both masculinity and femininity.

The Curriculum (19 - 20 Units)

Our women's and gender studies minor program connects the personal with the political and provides students with unique opportunities to create academic, spiritual, and community leadership roles and work for social justice. With gender as a primary category of analysis to study social roles, spirituality, institutions, and activism, our program highlights diversity.
