The MA in Women’s & Gender Studies combines advanced Women’s & Gender Studies courses in feminist theory, research methods, global feminisms, and selected topics with graduate-level courses in many disciplines.
Currently Women’s & Gender Studies offers over 90 core and cross-listed courses drawn from dozens of departments across campus, taught by our own faculty, as well as a number of affiliated faculty.
UWM also offers two joint degrees where students can earn the master’s degree in women’s & gender studies alongside a master’s degree in either social work of library information science. These joint degree programs provide a streamlined way to earn two master’s degree in a shorter timeframe than if each degree was completed separately.
