Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies with a Concentration in Women's Studies

(Please note: Spring 2018 is the last admission for this major!)

A student who understands the particular roles, experiences, and challenges of women in the U.S. and around the world will realize that gender is extremely important in society. For this reason, at North Carolina A&T State University, the introduction of the Women's Studies Concentration represents one of the truly exciting and innovative curriculum changes.

As a graduate of this concentration, you could build upon the education you receive here in further education in gender studies (M.A. and Ph.D.). Then you may work as a professor at a college or university or as a researcher or leader of a social services agency that is oriented toward women's issues. B.A. graduates can seek employment with public or private agencies, organizations and corporations that interact with families, groups of women and individual women. Health care providers, public relations agencies, family support agencies, battered women's shelters, rape crisis centers, human development agencies such as those that work with formerly incarcerated women, political organizations and educational institutions are just a few of the employers who seek people who have an interdisciplinary (sociological, psychological, economic, political, religious and cultural) understanding of the historical and present-day status of women.

In addition to the 30 credit hours of Concentration courses, all Liberal Studies Majors must take: LIBS 200 (Introduction to Liberal Studies - 3 Semester Hours), LIBS 300 (Research Methods in Liberal Studies - 3 Semester Hours), LIBS 499 (Senior Research Project - 3 Semester Hours). A final grade of "C" or better is required for all Concentration Studies, Related Electives, ENGL100/101 and HIST206/207 (formerly HIST100/101) courses.
