Women's and Gender Studies - Beloit College

Women's and Gender Studies from Beloit College is a Campus Bachelor Women's Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Women's and gender studies creates a framework for examining the historical, cultural, political, economic, and global conditions central to understanding both women as gendered beings and the processes of gender construction for all humans. Such processes are inextricably bound up in a complex matrix of other identity categories which include race, class, sexuality, ethnicity, nationality, religion, physical ability, and so forth. The major in women's and gender studies is comprised of ten units that include core introductory and advanced courses that survey theoretical approaches to studying women and gender, courses that offer historical grounding relevant to a particular cultural context in which women and gender are a focus, a course or study-abroad experience that centers around some international or global aspect of women and gender, an internship that requires students apply their knowledge about women and gender in a environment outside the classroom, and the completion of a senior seminar community research project and senior portfolio. The program also offers a five and a half unit minor in women's and gender studies studies that requires students take two of the three introductory courses, a 300-level theory course, and complete an additional two and a half units of WGST coursework.
