Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies

BA/BS in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSSS)

Students can elect to major in WGSS both in Corvallis and on Ecampus.

The Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies major represents multidisciplinary approaches to the study of gender and sexuality, particularly as they intersect with race, ethnicity, class, culture, nation, and ability. The curriculum incorporates feminist social justice theory and research to better understand differences in power and privilege and to contribute to practices that help transform our world. Many classes incorporate a social activism component, and students are encouraged to consider the ways knowledge and activist engagements help promote social justice in local and global communities.
