Bachelor of Arts in Womens and Gender Studies
Program Overview
Students in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at The University of Toledo study the contributions, experiences, history and issues facing women in the U.S. and across the world. UToledo’s curriculum also explores the complexity of gender as it intersects with other identity categories and shapes our experiences.
UToledo WGST undergraduates work with advisers to tailor a program that fits their interests and goals.
Women's and gender studies is an interdisciplinary program. Students can take courses across academic departments as they explore the many facets of gender, race, class, religion, culture and more.
Highlights
- Service learning. WGST undergraduates work on events and projects in the community. They partner with faculty to organize seminars, performances and other events. Past projects include Women in the Director’s Chair (a touring, international film festival), Eating Disorders in a Disordered Culture (a public art campaign) and Take Back the Night (an anti-violence against women event).
- Emphasis on research. Every WGST class has a research component. Undergraduates have recently collaborated with the Toledo domestic violence community to perform participatory, action research in Lucas County. Students also are invited to share their research with the UToledo community at monthly student research showcases.
- Unique, in-depth classes. Students in the women’s and gender studies program participate in two proseminars that prepare them for professional life. A senior seminar dives deeply into topics ranging from women in the Middle East to community organizing to girlhood and adolescent studies.
- Mentor program. Faculty mentors help WGST majors explore career options and support students as they pursue long-term professional goals.
- Required internship. UToledo WGST students work with local, national and international organizations.
- Be a leader. WGST undergrads participate in national leadership conferences and workshops. The UToledo Feminist Leadership Alliance, a vibrant student organization, is often led by WGST majors.
