My women’s studies coursework at Agnes Scott College focused on analyzing how gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, nationality, disability and class affect individuals and society. As a result of this coursework, I learned how to effectively manage people within social and institutional settings. Over four years, this curriculum cultivated my critical problem-solving skills as I studied theories of diversity and identity. 

Women’s Studies is an integral part of the curriculum of Agnes Scott College. Approximately one-third of the Agnes Scott faculty teaches courses cross-listed in the Women’s Studies program. Women’s Studies courses invite students to explore gender and its intersections with sexuality, race and ethnicity, nationality, disability and class. Women and gender are analyzed from the perspective of the humanities, fine arts, and social and natural sciences, and from interdisciplinary perspectives. In the process, students are exposed to feminist theory from across the disciplines. Controversial issues are approached from various viewpoints, inspiring lively classroom debate and critical thinking. Increased knowledge about women and gender, a commitment to social justice, honed critical thinking skills and effective oral and written expression are goals of the program.
