20 Credits

This interdisciplinary concentration is designed to encourage students to explore gender from multiple perspectives and provide an academic foundation in the study of sex, gender, and sexuality. Students who focus their studies in this concentration will gain knowledge and understanding of gender as it functions in our diverse and interconnected world. This concentration will support students as they pursue careers in diverse fields such as human resources, social work, law, public policy, and journalism; and can also be used as a basis for further studies at a four-year institution.

Students may choose to complete this concentration of study and have it posted to their transcript ONLY when the student successfully completes the Associate in Arts Degree, AA-DTA . Otherwise courses taken will transfer to four year universities on a course by course basis only.

Students are urged to consult with their Green River advisor to plan their programs of study. Students are also urged to consult with a representative from the university they plan to attend.
