Why Women's Studies?
 

UE's Women's Studies minor is an excellent companion to any major you might pursue.  We offer a rich selection of courses, taught in small classes, which allow you to get to know classmates and professors on an individual basis.

The objective of the Women's Studies minor is to encourage students to analyze the roles, perspectives and contributions of women, and to engage in analysis of gender and sexuality in a variety of disciplines.  Through examining women's history, present conditions and future possibilities, students will come to understand ways in which gender is socially constructed, and the types of critical and transformative analysis that might help deal constructively with women's issues and gender concerns.
