The Women's Studies undergraduate program offers students a strong
foundation in feminist thought and action through a sequence of courses that
offer multi- and interdisciplinary approaches to analysis of gender-based
oppression. Work in the field contests the historical, ongoing and pervasive
gender-based oppressions within society by evolving a forum for
interdisciplinary work. Students in the undergraduate program have the
opportunity to learn how theoretical issues connect to their own lives, and to
develop a knowledge of feminist actions, theories, and methodologies; a
greater understanding of the diversity of human experience; an understanding
of and ability to use interdisciplinary perspectives; and academic skills for
lifelong intellectual growth.
Major requirements include a common core of introductory courses, at least
one course offering a multi-cultural perspective, courses from several areas
of study defined by the department, and a writing emphasis course. For more
information about the major, consult the major's Academic Program Requirements
Report (APRR) or contact the department.
