Our mission is to enrich and empower women.

Women’s Studies is an exciting interdisciplinary program that focuses on women and issues of gender. It gives students a fuller understanding of human behavior, culture and society as they explore, through the “lens” of gender, how human lives and relationships—both individually and communally—are influenced by various social, political, and economic institutions. By connecting the local to the global, the program promotes an understanding of power relationships in various contexts.
