About Graduate Certificate in Women's and Gender Studies

Women's and Gender Studies

Women's & Gender Studies is a vastly growing area of study focused on the way gender shapes social norms and individual experiences, and how those factors affect the larger world.

Courses offered as a part of this certificate and concentration place an emphasis on how gender impacts personal and professional experiences, how certain societal figures (artists, researchers, clinical practitioners, and so on) represent and respond to those experiences, and how studying Women's & Gender Studies can help you reimagine the way the world should respond to gendered experiences.

This inter- and multi-disciplinary certificate or concentration program allows you to diversify your thinking through a dynamic curriculum that can be used to enhance all other academic disciplines. Our teacher-scholars draw upon both well established and developing research in women's studies, feminist theory, and gender studies generated externally as well as their own research to craft relevant and timely courses in related disciplines.
