Women's Studies, Certificate
Interdisciplinary and specialized, the Women’s Studies graduate program fosters a critical approach to knowledge about women. By focusing on cultural practices that have largely excluded and devalued differences in gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, race, and class, Women’s Studies prepares students to appreciate and act in a pluralistic world. The Women’s Studies graduate certificate integrates scholarship and research on women and gender from multiple disciplines. Students are challenged to explore diverse viewpoints and to expand the scope of their intellectual endeavors to include gender issues and debates.
