This program was recently renamed. Starting summer 2013, it will be the women, gender and sexuality studies program.

An undergraduate degree in women studies is a stepping stone toward careers in advocacy, criminal justice, education and social work.  Many of our graduates also use their degree as a foundation for graduate school or law school.

Here is a sample list of job titles for women studies majors:

• Clinical social worker
• College professor
• Human rights advocate
• Journalist
• Lawyer (many women studies graduates go on to law school)
• Legislative aide
• Labor union organizer
• Rape crisis program director
• Victim’s advocate

For information about job prospects for these career fields, please visit the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Handbook.  OSU Ecampus Career Services is also a great resource for career information.
