Cottey College's women, gender, and sexuality studies program examines what it means to be a woman. Students explore questions such as: Who decides who or what a woman is? What does it mean to be a woman today? and What is feminism? They then apply these ideas to macro-level perspectives, including how gender structures our social, political, and economic world and how people's experiences of gender have varied across time, space, and culture.

This major is a highly interdisciplinary field of study that impacts everything we do at Cottey College. Because women, gender, and sexuality studies' reach is so broad, it provides a strong complement to any major you choose.
