The Denison Women's Studies program offers approximately 26 courses throughout the college and provides both a major and a minor. A major requires completion of 32 hours in Women's Studies; a minor requires 24 credit hours. The program is unique for its breadth and depth at a college of Denison's size, and the University is recognized nationally for its educational leadership in requiring a Women's Studies or Minority Studies course of all its graduates.

Mission Statement

The Women's Studies Program at Denison University takes its mission to be three-fold.

We intend to foster a critical awareness of and intellectual sensitivity to:

• women's issues, the role of gender, and the relationship between gender and other politicized aspects of "identity," including race, class, age, religion, sexuality;
• methods inflected by the interdisciplinary of women's studies; and
• real-life implications of the field-how the academic study of women's issues and gender is informed by and has the power to transform real lives, both others' and our own.
