Graduate Career Ready with Gender Studies
Put your Gender Studies minor to work pursuing a career that interests and challenges you. Gender Studies students understand systems of power and inequity and the impacts they have on our culture, our institutions, and on each of us individually. They learn to research and contextualize information, producing sharp, insightful analyses and evidence-based conclusions.鈥�
Gender Studies students show the kind of deep cultural understanding and leadership that is required for clear-sighted, problem-solving analyses of our past and present to create a better future. Perhaps most important of all, our students are educated beyond a narrow curriculum geared towards a specific job; instead, they are poised for success across an increasingly wide array of career opportunities.
