What can I do with a Women's Studies major?
The interdisciplinary women's studies program provides a framework for the study of gender and questions of culture, history, politics, and economics. Women' studies courses also integrate scholarship on race, ethnicity, and class together with perspectives on gender.
A variety of courses, including 21&62:988:201,202 Introduction to Women's Studies and 21&62:988:389, 390 Topics in Women's Studies, are available to students who wish to direct their future plans, studies, and research into fields requiring knowledge of the new scholarship on women. Students also are required to pursue a research project and/or an internship.
The Independent Research in Women's Studies (21&62:988:401) requires a substantial written project, while the Women's Studies Internship (21&62:988:425) involves ongoing organizational work in the campus community or outside agencies.
Students are encouraged to consider a double major that combines women's studies with a traditional discipline such as history or psychology.
