The Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies program explores the dynamics of gender and sexuality in relation to local and global structures of power, privilege, and oppression. We provide interdisciplinary and disciplinary courses, offering a range of methodological and theoretical tools to empower our students to think critically and develop new epistemologies. 

The WGSS does not have a program leading to a graduate degree; however, an emphasis on Women’s Studies/Services is offered through the graduate degree programs in Social Justice Educational Studies.
