The Women's Studies Program takes a multidisciplinary approach to teaching and learning. Its intent is to correct the focus of the academic establishment that has traditionally ignored, minimized, or excluded the work of women in most branches of knowledge and areas of experience. Its positive approach is a reassessment of learning culture, and its goal is the assimilation of the best efforts of women into an integrated and equitable society.
