Minor in Women & Gender Studies
With a minor or concentration in women and gender studies, you develop problem-solving and cross-cultural communication skills that employers believe help you to value diversity in the workplace and function effectively in team-based settings. This background is also important if you seek to work in the public and private sectors where women and girls or men and boys make up the majority of the customer base or clientele. Additionally, research indicates that understanding a societal perspective of gendered power relationships increases both women and men's self-esteem. For women, the increase can lead to increased career aspirations. This minor is offered only at the Clarion campus.
