Description
Women's Studies & Gender Studies (WMNST) at Penn State Behrend is designed to address the concerns and interests of both women and men. It asks students to think about the impact of gender in their lives and to interpret both their own experiences and social expectations. The WMNST minor is interdisciplinary; students take courses in a variety of fields, including communication, history, literature, political science, psychology, and more.
