Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) is an interdisciplinary department that offers two majors: Sexuality, Gender and Queer Studies (SGQS) and Women’s Studies (WS), both of which focus on intersectional analyses of race, gender, sexuality, class, culture and disability, and systems of power, privilege, and resistance within both local and global contexts.
Links between theoretical understandings of feminist and queer studies and community activism are designed to nurture your personal and intellectual development throughout your interdisciplinary study of gender and sexuality.
A degree in WGSS prepares you for socially responsible community involvement and a broad range of careers in community agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and government agencies as well as other workplaces. Additionally, the WGSS program offers a foundation for graduate studies in academic and professional degree programs such as legal and public policy studies, education, social work, medicine and public health, counseling, business administration, and advocacy.
