Bachelor of Arts - Women's Studies

Women’s Studies at Hofstra University provides interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives on gender roles and examines the social, political, economic, intellectual and cultural contributions of women past and present. A focus on women and gender is relevant in many academic fields, while knowledge of how gender shapes home, work, and public life is relevant to many professions (education, the health professions, law, social services, and media and communications, to name a few).

Women's Studies also seeks to foster the respect for people of diverse physical abilities, races and ethnicity, religions, national origins, sexual orientations, and gender identifications that is necessary to live and work in a multicultural environment.
