Women's Studies Minor
The minor in Women's Studies complements a variety of majors in all four colleges. As its name suggests, its focus is on the experiences and accomplishments of the majority of the world's population. The program is organized on an interdisciplinary basis, utilizing the expertise of faculty members from many departments and covering a wide range of subjects dealing with various aspects of women's lives. The primary objectives of the program are threefold: academic learning and research, personal growth, and social justice.
