Gender and Sexuality, Bachelor of Arts

Governors State University

Locally and globally, the impact of gender and sexuality emerges in all fields and disciplines, from fields that reach into the lives of individuals, such as law and health, to those that allow us to examine society, such as the humanities and social sciences. With a Bachelor of Arts in Gender & Sexuality Studies from Governors State, you can join an interdisciplinary examination of the power dynamics created by gender and sexuality and can work to shift a societal model that has been historically imbalanced. The Gender and Sexuality Studies (GNSX) major is an interdisciplinary major that is framed by the disciplines of Addictions Studies, Anthropology & Sociology, Art, Communication, Criminal Justice, History, English, and Psychology. The curriculum is designed to provide students with both the theoretical and analytical tools to examine the interplay between institutions, culture, politics, social movements, and individual identity. In order to provide a framework to ensure a consistent set of expectations across disciplines, the GNSX program has a set of five program outcomes.
