Women's Studies and Gender Studies
Undergraduate and Graduate Degrees in WSGS
The Women’s Studies and Gender Studies Program brings together many different academic fields to study how gender, sexuality, race, and intersecting identities shape communities and cultures across the world. WSGS empowers students to amplify underrepresented voices and advocate for social justice by providing an expansive understanding of feminist scholarship, gender theory, and how to apply theory in practice—translating ideas into action.
Congratulations to our Graduating MA Students!
