Academics

We offer a number of different WGS programs to meet different student needs.

Undergraduates can pursue a major or minor, both of which pair well with countless other complimentary programs.

At the graduate level, we offer a certificate that can be earned in conjunction with any master's or doctoral program outside of WGS, a Master of Arts (MA) in Women's & Gender Studies, and two dual-degree programs: an MA in Women’s & Gender Studies with a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) or an MA in Women's & Gender Studies with a Master of Social Work (MSW).

"Strengthen the female mind by enlarging it, and there will be an end to blind obedience."

Writer and philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft
