Women’s studies has been taught at the Colleges since
1969 and the program was, in fact, one of the first such programs in
the country. The goals of the program are to educate women and men about
women’s participation
in history, literature, society and thought, and about the serious implications
for social and cultural life of the neglect of women’s contributions. In
pursuing these goals, we seek to enrich ourselves and others by asking questions
about past history and present practices in order to work for the betterment
of the future.
About The Program
Women’s studies is a multidisciplinary enterprise. Students are encouraged
to take a wide range of courses, developing theoretical sophistication, cultural
