To foster students' dignity and worth, the Women's Studies Program attempts to provide a positive, nonsexist environment for all students. Its major goal is to examine traditional knowledge from the women's viewpoint; in so doing, it brings new views and learning to the college community. Women's studies intends to expand knowledge, to challenge prejudice and oppression, to provide an alternative perspective on traditionally accepted theories, to help students and faculty question assumptions and stereotypes in existing scholarship, and to investigate the systems that shape women's lives. A women's studies major as a liberal arts option is relevant to students who plan to work in social agencies, in civil rights advocacy, in law enforcement, and in community and political groups. It is relevant to students planning careers in law, counseling, education, business, medicine, and administration.
