Women's and Gender Studies (Advanced Major)

The program explores alternatives within society to achieve equal rights and equal treatment for both sexes. Women's Studies is necessary because of a hitherto limited understanding of the role played by women in history and contemporary society. Women's Studies explores traditional and feminist views of women, the psychology of women, women's economic roles, and their relationships to men and each other. The program is interdisciplinary in focus.
