About the Women and Gender Studies and Queer Studies Programs:

We offer a Bachelor's Degree in Gender and Sexuality Studies (36 units), a Minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies (24 units), and a Minor in Queer Studies (21 units).

 

Our courses explore the ways that gender and sexuality work to shape people’s lives. We explore the lives of women (cis and trans), men (cis and trans), nonbinary & two-spirit people, and gender-expansive folks, through texts, art, social and cultural practices, and social institutions, both local and global, historical and contemporary.

We also examine the structures of inequality, movements for social change, and the intersections of gender with other dimensions of difference and inequality, such as race, class, sexuality, disability, religion, and national origin.

 

What can I do with a BA or a Minor in Gender & Sexuality Studies and/or a Minor in Queer Studies?
