Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies

The Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) program is a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding gender and sexuality in history, society, and culture. The program encourages political and social activism, and emphasizes the importance of intersectionality as a discourse when discussing gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, and class. Students may take introductory courses in the WGSS program as part of their core curriculum, as well as earn a certificate demonstrating advanced study in topics related to women, gender, and sexuality. Approved courses for the certificate offer the opportunity of interdisciplinary study in a wide variety of Arts & Sciences programs.

GSW prepared me for professionalism. The small class sizes allowed us to work on projects and present them to students or even faculty panels, preparing you for whatever your future may be. GSW truly just wants their students to excel.
