We are delighted to announce Women’s Studies Department’s new name “Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies” has been approved by the CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White and will launch in the Fall of 2019
CSUSM Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies students explore profound themes in a feminist, interdisciplinary, academically rigorous program.
Our Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies Department offers courses that examine gender in relation to race, class, sexuality, and other identity markers, in national and international contexts. Our students gain a solid academic foundation on which they then develop the professional skills necessary for rewarding employment in the 21st century. Analytical thinking, writing, teamwork, and research skills prepare WGSS students for careers in diverse areas: education, international relations, health, counseling, law, human resources, social services, journalism, and public safety, among others.

"[Majoring in Women's Studies] was one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. A degree in WMST is the perfect major for a career in people skills, team building organization, and research."
