At Wayne State University, the interdisciplinary Women's Studies Program, which is housed in the College of Liberal Arts, recognizes the scope of its charge and has developed an undergraduate curriculum that draws from many different academic areas on campus. This interdisciplinary curriculum give students the theoretical bases and methodological skills to analyze the historical, social, cultural, economic, and political contexts that influence women's lives. Courses in the curriculum focus on women in the multi-cultural United States, as well as in the countries across the globe. In addition to its interdisciplinary courses, the Program also gives credit for specific courses that are cross-listed with or offered in each of these departments. In the Women's Studies Program students will find both co-major and minor concentrations available in the curriculum.
Students can also specialize in substantial projects which use gender theory and methods.
The Program's minor is geared toward students who seek to complement their major program of study with a significant amount of interdisciplinary work in women's and gender studies.
