Women’s Studies first began to be offered in the universities in the 1970s, to use academic research to find out about the perceptions and experiences of women and to correct omissions, trivializations, and misconceptions that existed. Today, Women’s Studies is a well-established field with an enormous amount of scholarly research to its credit, in fields as diverse as literature, psychology, science, history – indeed, practically every academic discipline.
A Bachelor of Arts degree is designed to develop flexibility, critical thinking skills, and a wide knowledge base that are valued by many diverse employers. Students in Women’s Studies develop research skills and an ability to construct effective verbal and oral arguments. Women’s Studies encourages you to grow intellectually beyond the confines of traditional thinking and challenges you personally and politically. The interdisciplinary nature of Women’s Studies makes this a logical option and gives you more flexibility in entering graduate or professional programs.
