Welcome to the Department of Women’s Studies at Virginia Commonwealth University. We offer a Bachelors of Arts and an undergraduate minor. There are two track options for majors; General Interdisciplinary Concentration and Women, Health and Science Focused Interdisciplinary Concentration.

Students might consider a combining a B.A. in Women's Studies with a major in another discipline. The Women's Studies BA requires 30 credits, just 12 credits (or four courses) more than a minor with no additional General Education requirements (see requirements).

Our programs are designed to provide students with a solid academic base for graduate studies and the credentials necessary for careers in the private or non-profit sector. Women's Studies draws upon the theories, skills, pedagogy and perspectives of the humanities, social/behavioral sciences, life/physical sciences, and the arts.

Women's Studies is located on the north side of campus on historic W. Franklin Street and our offices are open Monday through Friday during regular business hours. Please contact us for an appointment or to arrange a campus visit.
