The Women's Studies Program introduces students to an interdisciplinary framework with the lives and experiences of women as its focus. Students learn to analyze and assess the impact of the multiple layers of identity women juggle--for example gender, ethnicity, class, disabilities, and sexual orientation-as they study the fields of human history, creativity, economics, society, and social sciences. As statistics continue to show more women pursuing higher education and more women in the workforce, this program prepares students to negotiate conflicts in the workplace and in their personal lives.

Women's Studies students learn to understand the impact of gender, ethnicity, and class on their lives, and the lives of people in the past. Synthesizing the subject of women's lives with skills in critical thinking, the program seeks to create active and informed citizens, workers, and parents, guardians, or stewards of children.
