Welcome to the Women's Studies Program (WST)

Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program with strong cross-cultural, national, and global perspectives at the center of the curriculum. Both curriculum transformation and social change are central to Women's Studies at ASU's West campus. The curriculum includes courses offered by Women's Studies and by other academic departments throughout the university. Women's Studies courses can be used to fulfill the requirements of the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Minor, and Certificate of Concentration in Women's Studies. The courses also fulfill General Studies requirements and serve as electives. Following are the goals of the Women's Studies department:

• To provide the university and the community with academic programs of study and research that place women at the center of the university curriculum.
• To provide a model for interdisciplinary teaching and research with cross-cultural, national, and global perspectives on women.
• To generate and facilitate research on women's experience and the social construction of gender.
• To stand as a visible example of the university's commitment to improve the status of women.
