Women's and Gender Studies careers and options
Women’s and Gender Studies, like any good liberal-arts program, fosters critical thinking, written and oral skills and leadership abilities. You can use any of these tools to shape a career and vocation.
"Transform the World" by Nikki Ayanna Stewart is a two page article on what one can do with a degree in Women and Gender Studies.
Internships
Internships are a great way to make your education come alive, especially in Women’s and Gender Studies. It is also a great way to get a job. For more information about where St. Norbert College students have previously interned, please visit the
