Gender and Women's Studies
We offer an interdisciplinary program of study that examines the social, cultural, and biological constructions of gender and sexuality. The program is founded on close collaboration between academic departments, enabling students and faculty to utilze the perspectives and methodologies of gender and women's studies across traditional disciplines.
JOIN THE GWST MAJOR!
CSB/SJU students can now apply for a major in Gender and Women's Studies. The result of overwhelming approval by the CSB|SJU faculty and the coordinate Board, this step reinforces the institutions' committment to gender education and learning. To learn more about the major, check out How do I major or minor in GWST?
