Our Mission Statement
Northern Kentucky University's Women's & Gender Studies Program offers an undergraduate minor. Through a cohesive curriculum exploring feminism, feminist theory, and social and political issues surrounding race, ethnicity and gender, the WMS Program introduces students to the history of women; their social, cultural and scientific contributions; as well as stressing the importance of social responsibility, activism, and community outreach.
The program supports and sponsors both on- and off-campus events relevant to women's social, cultural and political issues with a strong sense of commitment to women in the metropolitan region.
The Northern Kentucky University Women's & Gender Studies Program is multi-disciplinary. Its faculty are drawn from diverse programs throughout the university, offering students a rich variety of disciplinary approaches to feminism and gender studies.
