The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program allows students to take a variety of classes, become empowered learners, learn about diversity and the part it plays in today’s world and develop critical thinking and professional skills.
You will learn about issues pertinent to women and about gender issues shaping the lives of men and women today—topics that are not always included in other courses.
Through guest speakers, service learning projects, and travel courses, you will meet a diverse range of women and girls from the surrounding community and the world—and learn first-hand about their experiences with gender issues.
Our program gives you the opportunity to partner with our Center and Institutes, travel the world, participate in hands-on research, and much more. Highlights include:
Our courses examine gender issues such as the body, politics, social roles, psychology, business, health, global forces, artistic movements, law, media and other topics, and these studies aid students in challenging sexism and other sorts of oppressions.
At Siena, your professors will do more than just instruct you. They will mentor you, cheer you on and happily give you the skills needed for success.
