The Women's Studies program at Virginia Tech presents students new ways of thinking about how race, class, and sexuality shape our society and our experiences in it.
- Our award-winning faculty members teach courses to over 800 Virginia Tech students each year.
- Many of those students choose to minor in Women's Studies because our programs complement so many majors.
- We also offer a 9-hour Graduate Certificate--an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural study of the complex ways in which gender is defined in relation to social structure, history, culture, and technology.
Central to the mission of Women's Studies at Virginia Tech is the empowerment of women, in both the academy and our larger society.
