Bachelors in Gender Studies

A dynamic interdisciplinary program, Gender Studies at USC offers its majors and minors a heady intellectual environment, a sense of community, and unparalleled personalized attention. Our curriculum analyzes how gender plays out in politics, intimate life, culture, the workplace, athletics, technology, health, science, and in the very production of knowledge itself. Our classes emphasize that gender is not a freestanding category, but rather one that takes shape through its intersection with other relations of power, including sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, nationality, and religion. Our faculty, drawn from across the university, includes undisputed leaders in their fields of specialization, which include popular music, masculinity, sports, queer studies, reproductive rights, poverty, social movements, and new medical technologies.
