The UW-Platteville Women’s and Gender Studies Program creates new dimensions in the educational curriculum by expanding students’ knowledge and awareness of women’s experiences in as many areas as possible. It seeks to enhance the educational and career opportunities of students in traditional and interdisciplinary academic areas, as well as students with a special interest in women’s and gender studies. The particular needs and concerns of part-time and continuing education students are also addressed.
Some women’s and gender studies courses may apply toward a Core General Education Requirement.
UW-Platteville students can earn a Minor or a Certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies.
