WOMEN’S STUDIES
A.A. DEGREE
Women’s Studies is an interdisciplinary major based on the premise that gender is a historical variable that affects the social, economic, and political structure of our society as well as the everyday lives of women and men. Employing a wide range of perspectives from disciplines such as history, literature, philosophy, sociology, psychology, art, anthropology, and biology, students will explore and examine how these disciplines pertain to women and how women have contributed to the cultural and sociological landscape.
The A.A. degree provides students with core courses in Women’s Studies. Students may utilize the Women’s Studies curriculum to fulfill transferable general education requirements for CSU and UC systems as well as lower division Women’s Studies courses for transfer to four-year institutions with women’s studies majors. Students must fulfill major requirements and all Associate Degree Requirements for the A.A. degree. Courses used to satisfy this major may not be used to satisfy A.A. General Education requirements.
