Career Paths
Understanding the gendered dynamics of society and the workforce gives students a competitive edge in meeting the challenges of the contemporary world. Women’s Studies helps students evaluate their own choices and options in a rapidly changing society and understand where and how their talents and skills may best serve their own and society’s needs.
Women’s Studies helps students prepare for the professional world in a number of ways. As an interdisciplinary program, Women’s Studies exposes students to a number of different schools of thought, theories, and methodologies. Students who study Women’s Studies go on to a variety of careers in the arts, business, social services, community organizing, and government agencies. Women’s Studies can help students specialize their career with a focus on women and gender, and can enhance students’ job prospects in counseling, education, law, medicine, and technology, as well as creative fields and other business endeavors.
Scholarships are normally awarded during the spring and summer for the upcoming academic year. During that time, scholarship award notifications will be sent and will include the name and amount of the scholarship. Consideration for additional scholarship awards will continue throughout the academic year.
If you are selected as a recipient of a scholarship, the scholarship will be added to your financial aid offer. Students are assigned a Cost of Attendance (Budget) based on their housing plans and degree plan (undergraduate, credential, graduate). If necessary, the Financial Aid Office will reduce self-help aid, like loans, when the student has been offered the maximum possible in all forms of financial aid (grants and loans).
The Financial Aid Office notifies Student Financial Services of the scholarship payment, which will be applied to your student account. If you do not owe a balance for the semester, then a refund will be issued either by direct deposit or you will be mailed a paper check. Release of scholarships funds begins the week before the semester begins.
