The Elmira College Women's and Gender Studies Program works to empower students to be academically successful critical thinkers, feminist activists, leaders on campus, and leaders in the wider world.
This interdisciplinary program is affiliated with more than 25 faculty members. Some teach women's studies courses, while others serve as speakers, moderators, and panelists for campus events.
Students may choose to minor in women's studies, completing a minimum of 21 credits in women's studies coursework with a senior seminar in feminist issues and activism.
Gender issues affect the professional world and businesses are looking to hire culturally-aware employees who can help identify roadblocks that cause gender disparities. For example, law, health care, social work, teaching, counseling, and government services are all professions seeking expertise on gender issues.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, those with a background in gender studies are also better prepared for work in areas such as business, finance, social work, and administrative support.
