Women's Studies - Agnes Scott College

Women's Studies from Agnes Scott College is a Campus Bachelor Women's Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Women’s Studies is an integral part of the curriculum of Agnes Scott College . Fully one-quarter of the Agnes Scott faculty teaches courses cross-listed in the Women’s Studies program. Women’s Studies courses invite students to explore gender and its intersections with sexuality, race and ethnicity, nationality and class. Women’s experiences are analyzed from the perspective of the humanities, fine arts, and social and natural sciences, and from interdisciplinary perspectives. In the process, students are exposed to feminist theory from across the disciplines. Controversial issues are approached from various viewpoints, inspiring lively classroom debate and critical thinking. Increased knowledge about women and gender, a commitment to social justice, honed critical thinking skills and effective oral and written expression are goals of the program. What will I study? Women’s Studies students are particularly well positioned to reap the benefits of a broad liberal arts education due to the multidisciplinary nature of the program’s offerings. Students enroll in courses housed entirely within the program as well as courses cross-listed with other disciplines. For example, a Women’s Studies major could take Gender Politics and Culture in Asia; this course is offered through the political science department but is also a women’s studies course. Courses offered by the Women’s Studies program itself include Introduction to Women’s Studies , Women and the Law and Feminism and Sexuality. What unifies courses under the rubric of Women’s Studies is their focus on the study of women and gender. View more details on Agnes Scott College .
