圣路易斯大学

Saint Louis University's Accelerated Bachelor's/Master's Program (ABM) offers the opportunity for outstanding women’s and gender studies majors to begin an M.A. program in their senior year.

Students complete the M.A. in three semesters after their successful completion of both their undergraduate degree and major and two graduate-level women's and gender studies courses.

Requirements

SLU's women’s and gender studies major, like most humanities majors, requires 30 credits of coursework, and the M.A. a further 30. By counting two graduate courses, or six credits, for both degrees, students earn the requisite 30 credits in only 12 to 14 months after receiving their bachelor's degree.

Women's and Gender Studies, B.A. Curriculum Overview

The bachelor's program offers engaging courses that develop students’ multicultural awareness. The program enables individuals to become more reflective about their own lives and the lives of people of all genders everywhere. Courses encourage students to serve as active citizens of the world.

Students majoring in women’s and gender studies take courses that focus on women, gender, sexuality, ethics, families and communities. Women’s and gender studies students learn skills designed to help them build communities, develop policies, and understand social relationships. Courses pay particular attention to the intersection of issues of ethnicity, class and sex, and explore how gender differences structure society. Many students choose to double major in women's and gender studies and another discipline, introducing even more questions into both fields.

Women's and Gender Studies, M.A. Curriculum Overview

SLU's master’s degree in women’s and gender studies requires 30 credits. Students will take five core courses covering feminist theories, feminist epistemologies, research design, current issues and debates, and a graduate-level internship.

Students can then choose five elective courses from dozens of choices in women's and gender studies; political science; African American studies; philosophy; English; history; languages, literatures and cultures; fine and performing arts; social work; and law, among others.
