University Certificate - Gender, Diversity and Equity Studies

Program Description The certificate in Gender, Diversity and Equity Studies (formerly Women’s Studies) program at Bishop’s has been developed to offer students the opportunity to explore gender in society, past and present, applying new concepts that have emerged in feminist scholarship over the past two decades. A major and a minor are offered (see Multidisciplinary Studies). Also interdisciplinary in design, the Certificate in Gender, Diversity and Equity Studies provides courses ranging over a wide variety of subject areas and is open only to part-time students. Part-time students may take these courses in the Fall, Winter and Summer evening sessions or in the day with permission of the department concerned.
