Minor in Gender and Women's Studies

The minor in Gender and Women's Studies focuses on gender as a primary category of human experience.

The universality of this experience, combined with the uniqueness of its expression in every individual, makes gender an ideal site for the rigorous inquiry and respectful dialogue that characterize a well-rounded liberal arts education.

At CLU, the Gender Studies program is an interdisciplinary curriculum that examines the role of gender in history, art, literature, media, politics, and other social institutions. The program primarily encompasses disciplines in the humanities social and behavioral sciences.
