The Department of Sociology offers students the option of earning a BA in Sociology with a concentration in Gender and Society.  A concentration in Gender and Society provides students with an understanding of how gender plays a crucial role in the experiences of females, males, and gender non-conforming individuals. Students must complete a combination of Sociology and Women and Gender Studies courses for the Gender and Society track.  Those who pursue this concentration simultaneously earn a minor in Women’s and Gender studies.  A concentration in Gender and Society provides students with an understanding of how gender plays a crucial role in the experiences of females, males, and gender non-conforming individuals.  The interdisciplinary nature of the concentration enables students to develop the skills to critically evaluate the ways in which inequality, oppression, and social structure play a role in various social problems such as the pay gap, sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking.  The Gender and Society concentration equips students for jobs in a variety of areas such as advocacy, counseling, public health, policy-making and government, business, and criminal justice.
