The purpose of this proposal is to raise awareness of the need to implement a Women's Studies Program at Armstrong Atlantic State University. By considering a variety of controversial issues from different perspectives, it encourages debate and critical thinking.
Students develop their skills in oral and written expression.
Many of Armstrong's current programs such as History, English, Health Sciences, and Computer Sciences would benefit from courses in women's studies. Introduction Over the last decade, more and more colleges are adding Women's Studies Programs to their curriculum. With the rise in women's empowerment, there is a definite need to have a better understanding of their achievements and continuing success in the face of the white man's adversity. Due to both limited class offerings and size, the opportunity to take one of these classes is possible, but not probable. With our current capable faculty, such a program could become a success at Armstrong.
