General
Information
Women's Studies is intended to increase a student's knowledge, interest
and appreciation of the needs, contributions, problems as aspirations of
women-and also of the way that gender shapes the lives of both women and
men. Women's Studies attempts to illuminate the subject matter of much of
the rest of the curriculum from the double perspective of women and gender.
The courses emphasize cultural diversity. The minor prepares students for
jobs that specialize in serving women as consumers, as clients of government
programs, as political actors, etc. The program also offers a Liberal Studies
option in Women's Studies.
