Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the experiences of women, and the effects of the construction of gender and sexuality in our society.

Students majoring in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies may select one of three concentrations. The Concentration in Women, Gender and Sexuality examines issues related to all three areas of study. The Concentration in Women and Gender focuses more specifically on issues having an effect on, and being experienced by, women based on their gender.
