Our approach allows you to turn your passion into a career by exploring your interests in-depth, and by honing your skills and knowledge through practical experiences and expert teaching.

Major: Gender Studies
Gender studies offers new approaches to untangling questions such as: Who are we? Why are we the way we are? What directions is society taking and how can it be transformed? We frame these questions through the lens of gender, and seek answers from a wide range of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities.

The Gender Studies major investigates what it means to be a woman/man/other gender identity in society at different times and places. You’ll look closely at the impact of gender, sex and sexuality on people’s lives at home, cross-culturally, at work, in public policy, in the media, on the streets and in the classroom.
