Women and Gender Studies
The Women and Gender Studies major at The College at Brockport is an interdisciplinary program that offers
students a well-rounded undergraduate education leading to expertise in a wide variety of skills that employers and professional schools now prefer. Students have an
opportunity to understand themselves, and their society
within an inclusive view of the human experience.
Women and Gender Studies courses emphasize skills that all employers and managers look for in job applicants: thinking analytically, organizing materials effectively, developing oral and written presentations, respecting people different from oneself, and working effectively within culturally diverse groups.
Women and Gender Studies classes are proudly cooperative, collaborative and student-centered. Feminist pedagogy emphasizes participatory learning, validation of personal experience, encouragement of social understanding and activism, and the development of critical thinking. Admissions requirements are open with no specific criteria other than a sincere willingness to learn more about Women and Gender Studies.
The Women and Gender Studies program has an Advisory Board that stands ready to assist you in any way possible to insure the success of your studies at Brockport. The Women and Gender Studies Office is located in Room 119 Smith.
