About the Program: Gender Studies courses examine gender within different societies over time. As a field of inquiry, Gender Studies enables us to question how gender as a social and cultural force shapes people’s lives, their relationships, the workplace, institutional structures, public policy and the production of knowledge. Students taking gender studies courses learn to emphasize critical reasoning and develop strong writing skills.
Through the College of Arts and Sciences, Mississippi State University offers an undergraduate minor in Gender Studies (15 credit hours) and a graduate certificate (12 credit hours).
