Women’s Studies
Mission Statement
 This
program is intended to increase a student’s knowledge,
interest and appreciation of needs, contributions,
problems and aspirations of women – and also of the way
that gender shapes the lives of both women and men. The
courses under the minor emphasize cultural diversity and
the varied experiences faced by women in the United
States and the world. The interdisciplinary nature of
the program provides an opportunity to examine several
theoretical / critical perspectives (e.g., historical,
sociological, legal, psychological, ethnographic,
scientific, political, aesthetic).
