The Women’s Studies minor prepares students for many different employment opportunities and for professional and graduate education in a variety of disciplines.
Understanding the importance of gender in society helps individuals have successful careers and lives to promote social justice and gender equity. Like majors in other Social
Sciences and Humanities the Women’s Studies minor does not prepare students for one job, but for many different kinds of employment. Women’s Studies courses train students in writing, analytical thinking, and research methods. The Women’s Studies minor is a great compliment to a student’s major when they may anticipate working with groups of women or issues related to women in their career.
