    About

    Saint Louis University's graduate minor in women's and gender studies provides an opportunity for graduate students in other departments at SLU to pursue an interdisciplinary education about contemporary social justice issues.

    This program complements a variety of graduate programs, including the humanities, social sciences, public policy, social work, health care and law, preparing students for leadership and advocacy roles in community or academic settings. While gender is the primary focus, each course and the discipline examine gender in light of race, ethnicity, class, sexual identity, ability, age and religion. The discipline teaches students to think critically and engage in the world as responsible citizens.
