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, community and global health as well as 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 relevant to their area of interest. Local, domestic and international internships opportunities are available . Competitive funds are available to assist students who complete internships outside of the southern California area.
