BU has launched a new certificate program in women’s, gender, and sexuality studies (WGS) to provide an interdisciplinary platform for graduate students interested in these studies.
“Across the nation, gender and sexuality are increasingly being integrated into all disciplines and departments,” says Carrie Preston, a College of Arts & Sciences associate professor of English and WGS director of graduate studies. “The graduate certificate enables students enrolled in graduate programs across the University to pursue comprehensive study in the vibrant, interdisciplinary fields of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies and receive institutional acknowledgement of their work.”
