Women’s Studies
Are you intrigued by the changes in women’s roles in society and the many ways in which gender affects one’s life? If so, the Women’s Studies minor offered at Penn State DuBois may be for you. Women’s Studies explores women-centered issues in every area of modern life. By studying the perceptions, contributions, and experiences of women, students learn about women’s lives throughout history and across cultures. Enhance your career opportunities Through a variety of course work and interaction with instructors and fellow students, Women’s Studies students develop their critical and analytical thinking skills and their ability to understand and articulate alternative views. All these skills enhance career opportunities and give students an important competitive edge in their professional lives. Former students enrolled in the Penn State minor are currently employed as legal advocates, journalists, public relations experts, managers, nonprofit administrators, teachers, medical professionals and political staffers. Career opportunities also exist in such organizations as women’s centers, agencies for women returning to the workplace or school, centers for abuse or assault survivors, as well as in more traditional professions in business and industry. The minor also provides excellent preparation for students who plan to attend graduate and professional schools. |
