Bachelor in Gender, Sexualities and Women's Studies (Associate Degree)

Gender, sexualities, and women's studies at Douglas College provide a vital lens for navigating the complex socio-cultural, economic, and psychological inequities that define our global landscape. This associate degree creates an intersectional, collaborative environment where students rigorously examine the contributions of women throughout history, the evolution of feminist thought, and the critical interplay between gender, sexuality, race, and class.

By grounding your studies in an intersectional framework, you will develop the analytical tools necessary to challenge systemic biases and engage with social justice movements. This program is specifically designed for students who are passionate about understanding human experiences and are looking to build a versatile foundation for further university study or immediate professional impact in diverse fields such as social work, human rights advocacy, education, and law.

A unique feature of this program is the optional Co-operative Education stream, which allows you to integrate your academic learning with paid, full-time work experience. By alternating between classroom instruction and professional placements, you gain a competitive edge, build a professional network, and graduate with a portfolio of real-world experience that distinguishes you in the job market.
