Not sure if a Women’s and Gender Studies major or minor is right for you? OR never heard of it? No big deal.

Women’s and Gender Studies is an academic program here at Ball State University that explores the ways in which a person’s gender, sexuality, race, disability, age, or socio-economic standing impacts their life experiences. While you may not think that your future career has anything to do with Women’s and Gender Studies, you’d be surprised. Do you plan to work with people in the future? This is an excellent opportunity to learn about your future audience, consumers, clients, and colleagues. Being informed about social constructions and their societal impacts can help you get a leg up on your competition and keep from making mistakes that alienate or harm the people you are attempting to serve or work with.

Women’s and Gender Studies also provides students with the opportunity to engage with and contemplate feminism and efforts to obtain gender equality in our society. Yes, you read that right. The big F word…feminism. It’s 2018, a lot of your faves are feminists! After Beyoncé’s 2013 Superbowl performance and Alan Rickman’s 2015 quote supporting male feminists the spectrum for what a feminist looks like has never been larger. Surely everyone fits somewhere between Queen B and Severus Snape, right?

The Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) program offers a 36-credit hour major and an 18-credit hour minor. Seems like a lot? Maybe not. Many of the courses included in the major and minor are classes you will already be taking! Ever find yourself in a history, psychology, sociology, social work, English, foreign language, art, anthropology, or criminal justice class? You may be able to apply it to your WGS major or minor. Check out our course requirements to see how many credits you already have towards your WGS major or minor!

Having trouble getting a seat in our Introduction to Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS 210) class as a freshman or sophomore? We’re on it! A special section of WGS 210 is being offered in the Fall of 2018 specifically for you. The class will meet Tuesday/Thursday from 2-3:15PM CRN: 19657
