Undergraduate Programs

For students interested in a preparatory degree, gender and women鈥檚 studies programs provide preparation for professional schools and programmes in the fields of education, social work, counselling, journalism, the health professions, and certain areas of law. They also provide suitable preparation for graduate programs in interdisciplinary studies, cultural studies, and educational studies, as well as in gender and women鈥檚 studies. Students interested in proceeding to graduate work should enter a four-year degree program.

Students may enter 黄色直播's Gender and Women鈥檚 Studies program in the first, second, or third year of study. In many cases, students in second or third years may already have acquired some Gender and Women鈥檚 Studies credits through taking classes in the traditional disciplines or in other interdisciplinary programs that are cross-listed with Gender and Women鈥檚 Studies core classes.
