Gender Studies Pathway
The Gender Studies Pathway focuses on gender as a significant cultural and cognitive
category. Courses examine how gender has influenced the lives, status, and opportunities
of all people, and attend to ways in which gender intersects with race, class, and ethnicity
to shape social structures and individual experiences.
Your Pathway must contain 4 courses drawn from at least 3 of the disciplinary areas listed below.
