Transfer Pattern Outcomes:


Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:

  1. analyze the complex ways in which gender is socially constructed and contextualized within different aspects of the human experience–particularly areas such as family, health, popular culture, education, and the paid and unpaid labor force;
  2. connect the discipline of Women’s and Gender Studies to the history of the feminist movement;
  3. prepare and execute written and oral communication with objectivity, conciseness, and clarity;
  4. evaluate sources of print and Internet information on gender and other forms of cultural diversity;
  5. explore their own voice by using their understanding of feminist theory and practice to examine connections between their own personal experiences and larger institutional structures;
  6. examine complex situations of women in diverse cultures and their interdependence in an era of globalization;
  7. explore the social construction of gender and the way it intersects with other forms of difference, specifically race, ethnicity, class, age, and sexuality; and
  8. apply multiple methodologies in developing research and critical thinking skills and forms of human inquiry.

Transfer Pattern Description:


This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Gender and Women’s Studies. Beyond the General Education requirements and other degree, program, and elective requirements, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.
