Where will your degree take you?

A degree in gender and sexuality studies trains you to think in ways that are vitally important to a number of mission-driven organizations. Our alumni have landed post-graduate internships at the White House and various social justice non-profits. They have gone on to medical school, law school, and graduate programs at prestigious universities. They have worked in the Peace Corps, Teach for America, and the Clinton Foundation, as well as in law firms, hospitals and clinics, in policy organizations, and in media.  Some have started their own companies and others have entered the corporate world.  They find that their understanding of gender and sexuality has sharpened their critical, analytic skills in their advanced and professional studies, in the workplace, and in their daily lives.

For more information on how a WGSS major or minor can help your future plans, visit the Career Center or get in touch with Rebecca Wanzo, chair of the department.
