Women's Studies Concentration

Women's Studies is open to students in all undergraduate majors at the University. It is an attractive academic supplement to the programs of students planning careers in government, law, business, human services, education, and ministry - to name but a few. It is also an attractive course of study for students interested in examining the experiences of women and the ways in which gender-related issues affect the lives of women and men as well as society and culture.
