Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies is an interdisciplinary program offering core courses in the discipline as well as related electives from a variety of departments across campus. Courses investigate the role of culture, social institutions and policy on perspectives of women, gender and sexuality in psychological, biological, social, political, literary and humanistic terms. Consistent with feminist pedagogy, students are encouraged to apply their academic understanding to community action, through the internship course or various other opportunities for service learning and volunteerism.
