Bachelor of Arts in Women's/Gender Studies

Duquesne University

The construct of gender shapes social orders, human institutions and individual experiences. If you pursue a second major or a minor in Women's and Gender Studies (WGS), you will develop critical thinking, research and analysis, and oral and written communication skills. The discipline of WGS recognizes the importance of diversity and the consequences of differential power and opportunity. In providing foundational knowledge and understanding of such issues, the program prepares you to incorporate such understanding into your social life and professional career to help promote a more inclusive and equitable world. The Center for Women's and Gender Studies curriculum will help you further your skills and awareness of these topics, a foundation that will serve you well in careers in arts, business, education, healthcare, journalism, law, science, and social services.
