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 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.
All women’s and gender studies courses fulfill the general education gender requirement. Some courses can double count for the ethnic, humanities, social sciences, and gender general education requirement.
UW-Platteville students can earn a Minor or a Certificate in Women’s and Gender Studies.
