Program description
To what extent are our attitudes as women and men shaped by the media, government, schools and our family? What barriers still exist to full equality between the sexes and why? These are just a few of the key questions about the world we live in that you will explore in the Women and Gender Studies program at Century College. The Women and Gender Studies program will help you learn about yourself as you explore new ways of looking at the world and reflect on your beliefs, values, actions, and relationships.
