Women’s studies programs are interdisciplinary courses that examine women’s roles in societies, cultures and socioeconomic classes. Students may learn about feminist theories, multiculturalism, social justice, critical theory, queer theory and politics to fully understand the representation of women in race, gender, politics and religions.

A master's degree is an academic degree granted to individuals who have undergone study demonstrating a mastery or high-order overview of a specific field of study or area of professional practice.
