The Program for the Study of Women and Men in Society (SWMS) explores, across disciplines and cultures, the changing roles, functions and images of women and men from feminist perspectives. The undergraduate major focuses on the evidence and argument about what the places of women and men are in culture and what they should be. Course offerings include interdisciplinary core courses, selected cross-listed classes in more than 20 departments and the upper-division community internship and senior seminar. Majors work with program faculty, in conjunction with LAS advisement, to develop a four-year program designed to meet their individual needs. The program also offers a minor and a Graduate Certificate for students majoring in other disciplines.
