Women's & Gender Studies
The Women's and Gender Studies Minor arises out of a growing consensus concerning the legitimacy and value of the field of women's and gender studies. The courses which constitute this minor enable students to gain knowledge about women and men, their experiences, the social and cultural forces that shape their lives, and their changing roles in past and contemporary societies and cultures. The courses drawn from various academic disciplines also seek to examine and evaluate assumptions and theories about women and gender in those disciplines. They also seek by focusing on gender to develop an expanded vision of human abilities and potentials.
This minor would enhance the preparation of students who are pursuing careers in law, medicine, education, journalism, business, the arts, counseling and other social services, government services, criminal justice, advertising, and public relations.
