Welcome to Gender Studies at Northwestern. We are a dynamic, interdisciplinary program that draws upon faculty and courses from more than twenty departments and across several of Northwestern’s undergraduate and professional schools. Undergraduates may earn an adjunct major or minor in Gender Studies, and we are also the home of a thriving graduate certificate program. Gender Studies faculty teach the full range of courses from freshman seminars to upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses – every student will find something of interest in our curriculum. Students and faculty in Gender Studies pursue research in the history and theory of gender, in feminism, and in sexuality studies.
