Welcome to the women's studies program

The Women's Studies Program engages students in the discovery and exploration of feminist perspectives on culture and society. Focusing on the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and nation, the program introduces students to the social, cultural, scientific, and other contributions of women, and the production of feminist knowledge. 

The program's curricular and extracurricular activities are both grounded in multiple feminisms and interdisciplinary approaches to feminist thought. WS supports and sponsors on- and off-campus events relevant to women's social, cultural, and political issues, particularly women in the New York City area.Thus, the program emphasizes the importance of social responsibility, activism, community outreach, and responsible citizenship. 

The Women's Studies Program offers an interdisciplinary undergraduate minor. 

Our Students Speak!

"Minoring in Women's Studies not only helped me gain perspective on women; it helped me gain perspective on life. To understand where we are going we must understand where we all come from." ~ Luis Medina, WS Minor 

"The program offers a wide array of classes for its students to take, exposing us to the study of women from all different perspectives... with some of City College's finest professors." ~ Malini Dhanraj, WS Minor
