Welcome

Welcome to the East Texas A&M gender studies program. Gender studies allows students to explore the issues that shape and define social understandings of masculinity, femininity and sexuality in their contemporary, historical and global contexts.

Gender studies students learn to think critically about the world around them, understand their personal experiences within larger social structures, expand their perspectives, and gain the tools to help build a better world. Through this process, students gain the self-awareness, confidence and compassion that are essential for success in the workplace and in all social interactions.

The gender studies program is an interdisciplinary program that draws courses from across the university and complements any major or field of study.
