Women's Studies Minor Now Available!

This interdisciplinary minor complements many existing degree programs.  It enables students to study women and their various contributions to society over time.  By doing so, students will broaden their cultural and intellectual perspectives in significant and meaningful ways and, in the process, make themselves more attractive to employers.  In particular, the minor will benefit students studying for careers in politics, medicine, social services, education, law, and business.
