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.
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

Graduate and professional school
Women’s and Gender Studies prepares you for a number of programs either in the field itself where there are M.A. and Ph.D. as well as certificate programs and/or in other fields suitable to liberal arts degrees (law, business, medicine, graduate programs generally).
