Mission Statement

A strong and viable Women's and Gender Studies Program is essential to the University's mission to provide a high-quality liberal arts education.  Our undergraduate minor and graduate certificate programs enhance any major and prepare students to think critically about gender as they become global citizens who value life-long learning and social justice.

Vision Statement

 The Women's and Gender Studies Program is a multidisciplinary community of scholars committed to a transformative analysis of gender as it intersects with class, sexuality, race, ethnicity, ability, age, nationality, and transnationality.  We are engaged in innovative and collaborative scholarship, teaching, and service that promote new knowledge and socially responsible activism.

Minor and Graduate Certificate Program
