Degrees Offered
Master of Arts in Applied Women’s Studies (MA)
The MA in Applied Women’s Studies combines feminist theory and epistemology with the substantive knowledge and practical skills required to respond to the needs of an increasingly complex global society. The program prepares students for careers in community organizations, government agencies, and the private sector.
To meet the needs of students this program cuts across a wide range of humanities, social sciences, education, and management disciplines in a rigorous program that examines the connections between feminist theory and social changes in the real world. Students enroll in courses in CGU’s schools of politics and economics, organizational and behavioral sciences, humanities, education, religion, and management with women’s studies faculty in each of these disciplines, creating a rich opportunity for interdisciplinary study in both academic and professional programs.
The centerpiece of the Applied Women’s Studies Program is the requirement that students complete an internship or policy clinic. The metropolitan areas across the United States, including Los Angeles; Washington, D.C.; Houston; New York City; and Miami, offer a wide range of internship possibilities focusing on women’s issues—in educational settings; federal, state, and local government; advocacy work; legal counseling; community service organizations; homeless shelters; and homes for battered women.
