Career Possibilities

Understanding the gendered dynamics of the world and workforce gives students a competitive edge in meeting the challenges of the contemporary world. Women’s Studies helps students evaluate their own choices and options in a rapidly changing society and understand where and how their talents and skills may best serve their own and society’s needs.

Women’s Studies helps students prepare for the professional world in a number of ways. As an interdisciplinary program, Women’s Studies exposes students to a number of different schools of thought, theories, and methodologies. Students who major in Women’s Studies go on to a variety of careers in the arts, business, social services, community organizing, and government agencies. A double-major or minor in Women’s Studies can help students specialize their career with a focus on women and gender, and can enhance students’ job prospects in counseling, education, law, medicine, and technology, as well as creative fields and other business endeavors.
