The concentration in women's studies offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of women's experience and status. It is designed for students wishing to pursue this interest systematically in their academic programs. The concentration is strongly recommended for those considering graduate work in women's or gender studies, but is intended to enrich the liberal arts experience of any student through concerted study of a significant dimension of human experience. The concentration aims to include the widest possible spectrum of women's experiences, and concentrators are encouraged to select courses that will acquaint them with a variety of perspectives. Those considering the concentration are encouraged to consult with the director as early as possible in order to make the most of the opportunities available.
