Learning Outcomes

The expected Student Learning Outcomes for the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Program are:

  1. Students in Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies courses will be able to demonstrate an understanding of key scholarship on gender and sexuality.
  2. Students in Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies will be able to identify and apply key works of scholarship on gender and sexuality to other academic areas in order to facilitate interdisciplinary analysis, evaluation and/or interpretation of cultural texts or practices. 
  3. Students in Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies will be able to demonstrate how concepts related to gender and sexuality function analytically to inform their critical thinking about cultural norms and practices.

These outcomes will be assessed through an evaluation of writing assignments produced in GSWS courses.
