Can I study abroad if I am a WGSS major? What types of study abroad programs does the WGS program recommend?
Certainly! WGSS encourages experience away or abroad as a way to expand upon the national and international foci that infuse the courses in the department at all levels. You are encouraged also to discuss the kinds of study abroad programs that suit the direction your courses have taken with more than one source—the chair of the department, your advisor, and with the International Student Center. You may also consult with other WGSS majors/minors about the paths that led to their choices. Students often select study abroad programs that have an explicit and sustained focus on women’s, gender, or sexuality issues in relation to politics, development, and other topics.
