Specific courses examine the processes of gender role socialization, and the resulting cultural beliefs and stereotyped images of women from a variety of disciplines. As a result, students gain an appreciation for the role of gender and its practical implications in their basic life experiences, thus preparing them to understand current and future changes in the roles of women. Each semester, Women's Studies courses are taught by faculty members from several departments and colleges throughout the university, such as Anthology, Communication, English, Health and Physical Education, History, Natural Resources, Political Science, Psychology, Special Education, and Sociology. Several special topics courses are offered throughout the year, and many courses also offer Honor's and graduate sections. Internship hours are available for work related to women's issues.
New courses continue to be developed and offered to meet the needs of students.
Students may enroll in individual courses or apply course work toward either a minor in Women's Studies or an Area Studies certificate . Back to Index For more information about the Women's Studies program, contact Brenda Cooper , Director. Design by NGWorks.
