Women’s studies programs are interdisciplinary courses that examine women’s roles in societies, cultures and socioeconomic classes. Students may learn about feminist theories, multiculturalism, social justice, critical theory, queer theory and politics to fully understand the representation of women in race, gender, politics and religions.

Individuals who are interested in pursuing highly skilled careers may want to start by earning an associate degree at a community college or university. As students earn their degrees, they often expand their knowledge and worldview, as well as increase their professional qualifications.
