Academics

Women's Studies possesses its own theory, yet it is also an "interdiscipline" composed of many different fields such as history, literature, art, politics, economics, sociology, anthropology, and psychology to name a few. This course of study allows students to study diverse women's roles, cultures, and lives. It explores how ideals set for women and co-created by them, imposed by institutional structures, and informed by ethnicity, race, social class, sexual orientation and physical ablebodiness. Women's Studies not only provides an excellent Liberal Arts education that improves one's verbal and writing skills, but it also prepares the student to work with diverse populations and mitigate the forces of privilege and oppression.

Some of the strengths of the Women's Studies Department include:

An excellent Liberal Arts education

Ten full-time faculty members, several of whom have won awards for their outstanding teaching and mentoring.
