Women`s studies promotes the exploration of women`s lives and contributions throughout history and today. It draws on many disciplines-anthropology, art, English, history, psychology, religion, science, sociology-answering our growing intellectual and social needs to understand gender. Women`s studies not only acknowledges the significance of women`s work and experience, it also develops critical tools to analyze gender as a category that shapes our thoughts, values, accomplishments, and social interactions. The broad base of women`s studies makes it an important field of study for men as well as women.

The objectives of this program include the following:

1. to offer undergraduates understanding of new scholarship on gender

2. to prepare interested students for graduate work in the field of women`s studies

3. to permit students to learn about the lives of women past and present through knowledge gathered by scholars in a wide array of disciplines

4. to develop leadership skills among women
