The women’s and gender studies program includes several core courses that provide an introduction to the principles of women’s and gender studies as well as more advanced study of approaches to feminism.

In upper years you will focus on issues of gender, identity, and culture; theories of gender and power in society; gender, science, and research; and contemporary issues in feminism and gender studies.
