Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGS)

The Department of Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGS) is a community of undergraduate, graduate students, faculty, staff and board members from a range of disciplines and backgrounds. Together, we ask questions about the intersectional aspects of women, gender and sexuality in classes, lectures and a range of public events.

We offer an undergraduate major and minor in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies and help to support the undergraduate minor in Sexuality and Queer Studies (SQS). We also offer a stand-alone master's degree in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies and 10 joint master's programs in which graduate students focus on WGS and another discipline. We collaborate with a range of organizations on campus and are generously supported by our National Board.
