Women's Studies is a growing interdisciplinary field that brings the perspective of gender, along with a consideration of class, race and ethnicity, to bear on a host of intellectual problems and issues of current concern.
Classes are usually small and encourage discussion.
Writing, research, and communication skills that are necessary for students' careers are emphasized. Undergraduates interested in women's studies may develop programs of study in relation to course work in a major, as part of an area of concentration within the Bachelor of Arts in interdepartmental studies, as a major, as a minor, or as a set of electives to satisfy general interest. Women's Studies teaches you skills such as critical thinking, research, writing, activism and advocacy. These skills are required by a range of academic disciplines and professions. With a Women's Studies major you can continue your studies in numerous academic programs or professional schools such as Women's Studies, History, Anthropology, Area Studies and Schools of Law, Public Health, Business and Journalism.
