Liberal Arts: Women's Studies
Transfer Major
Curriculum code No. 1160
Department of Language and Literature
Penn 105 • Phone (215) 968-8150
This major is designed for the student who seeks
a general education by broadly exploring the liberal
arts course areas while also focusing on the study
of women in society, the contributions of women to
all cultures, and the issues raised by
contemporary changes in women's lives. Women's studies
programs are vital to women and men in the fields of
counseling, education, social work, health and medicine,
business, family life, and law; in addition, upper level
programs in Women's Studies are successfully offered in
more than 600 colleges and universities across the nation.
This program of study includes a variety of
disciplines as well as offering introductory courses in
Women's Studies itself. An elective cooperative
education internship provides a way for students to
perform service-learning while receiving on-site experience
and mentoring in a chosen field. Other course
designations reflect those courses that include a Core
sub-category on women and minorities. Changing attitudes
in society and recent legislation have provided
more choices and increasing opportunities for women
in non-traditional fields. This program,
therefore, provides an introduction to Women's Studies
for students who wish to transfer in that particular
field or for students who wish to use this major as
a transfer to other career areas.
