What can I do with a degree in Women Studies and Gender Studies?

The truth is, graduates with undergraduate or graduate degrees (or minors) in Women's Studies and Gender Studies can go into a wide range of fields and positions after graduation. Because graduates in the field understand/display an inherent understanding of various forms of oppression, they are well-equipped to be experts in their chosen fields and advance social justice in the world through their work.

So…What can I “be?”
Graduates may consider entering many fields of work, including:

• Education

• Healthcare

• Human services

• International affairs and relations 

• Literature

• Media (reporters/journalists, writers, communication specialists, researchers, editors, etc.)

• Marketing, communication, and advertising 

• Non-profit (community organizers, advocates, case managers, counselors, program coordinators, etc.)

• Public policy or administration

• Public service

• Social work
