Bachelor of Arts in Women's and Gender Studies

Women's and Gender Studies is focused on developing a critical consciousness of societal inequalities including those based on social differences. It inquires into how people's lives are made to matter through relations of gender, race, class, religion, sexuality, age, and embodiment, and how systems of power including colonization, racism, and sexism bear upon our everyday experiences. Prioritizing the voices of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour, it fosters awareness of the realities and diverse lives of people of all genders and sexes, and advocates for social change. The interdisciplinary nature of the Women’s & Gender Studies program allows you to customize your university education to fit your educational and career goals by taking courses from a number of different disciplines or areas. You can get a Bachelor of Arts degree (3-year, 4-year, or Honours) with a Major in Women's and Gender Studies.
