SMU's Women's and Gender Studies

SMU's Women's and Gender Studies Interested in the WGS Program?

The Women's & Gender Studies (WGST) program draws on many academic disciplines to emphasize the intellectual, artistic, political, social, economic, and spiritual contributions of women as well as a broad range of related issues, including the social and cultural meanings of masculinity and sexual identity. Additionally, the program permits the student to explore the way that race, class, nationa

lity, religion and other social categories interact with gender and sexuality. Our program offers the following courses of study:

An Undergraduate Minor in Women's and Gender Studies
An Individualized Major in the Liberal Arts with a focus in Women's and Gender Studies
A Graduate Certificate Program in Women's Studies

TCU's WGST program and Race/Ethnic Studies program are being dissolved and absorbed into the English department. There is major concern that the decision to dissolve the programs was political, and part of the rolling back on DEI initiatives. Read more at the link!

Across the country, universities are facing political pressure to do away with DEI.
