Gender Studies Minor

 The minor in Gender Studies offers students an opportunity to pursue an interdisciplinary study of women and gender through the lens of issues such as ethnicity, class, sexuality, and international cultures.  In addition to the introductory course, students are encouraged to take classes from a wide variety of disciplines and perspectives.  The program’s emphasis on service learning, workshop environments, and personal growth allows for the exchange of ideas between students and faculty; it also fosters the development of a more holistic understanding of the human experience and the ways in which we interact with the environment.
