Programs

Our program offers a major in gender, sexuality and women's studies (GSW) and two minors, one in GSW and one in queer studies. With a major or minor in gender, sexuality and women's studies, you can study gender and sexuality through the lenses of feminism, queer and trans studies, with special attention to critical intersections with race, class, religion, health and geography.

A degree in gender, sexuality and women's studies is flexible and interdisciplinary with a focus on social justice, real-world praxis and community engagement. Students often chose GSW as a co-major to complement another program of study or use our minors to amplify their expertise in gender and sexuality and enhance their qualifications by signaling their commitment to diversity and equity. Contact our advisor to learn more.

A major or minor in GSW is great for careers in health, psychology, communications, business, law, education and non-profit/community justice as experienced by many of our alumni. GSW is also a place for feminist, LGBTQ+ and ally students to find community. We come together outside of the classroom for programs, events and learning on campus and throughout Detroit.
