Women's and Gender Studies

Undergraduate Programs

Women's and Gender Studies offers a major and a minor in Women's and Gender Studies (WGST), and a minor in Sexuality and Gender Identity Studies (SGIS). Each of these programs requires an interdisciplinary introductory course in either WGST or SGIS and a senior seminar in either WGST or SGIS. The major also requires an internship with a community group, and a concentration designed by the student her- or himself, with the help of faculty advisors.
