Women’s Studies Minor
This is an interdisciplinary minor designed to enhance any degree program. Women’s Studies seeks to recognize the diversity of human experience and examine the interplay of gender, race, class and sexuality by focusing on the experience of women, the concept of gender, and the cultural productions by and about women within different contexts and across various identities and academic disciplines.
