How do gender, power, race, sexuality and class shape lives and the world? By studying the effects of social hierarchies, cultural identity, sexuality, nationality and religion, you'll learn how gender attitudes form and how they impact daily lives.
The Bachelor of Science program in gender, women and sexuality studies is an interdisciplinary academic program. Students examine the cultural and social construction of gender; explore the history and experiences of women and their contributions to society; and study the influences of gender at a micro and macro level.
Consistent with the university's design imperatives of social embeddedness and use-inspired research, the program's course offerings, research initiatives and cocurricular programs further the understanding of women and gender and promote social justice. Students gain a solid knowledge base and educational foundation as well as the critical thinking skills necessary for dealing with changing gender roles in society.
