Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies B.A.

This is an interdisciplinary program housed in the Division of Social Sciences. The program is administered by the Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies (GWSS) coordinator who is a faculty member of any of the four divisions.

Gender and sexuality are urgent contemporary issues that impact the culture, politics, and economics of American and international societies. Because such issues affect nearly every professional field and avenue of inquiry, GWSS students engage critically with theoretical and practical models from across the disciplines.

Objectives and Program Learning Outcomes:
(1) Students will be able to apply concepts from the study of gender and sexuality across a diverse range of contexts.
(2) Students will be able to apply a broad range of interdisciplinary theories and perspectives to current events.
(3) Through diverse methodologies and critical paradigms, students will be able to analyze the impact of gender and sexuality in their own lives and in the world around them.
