What Can I Do with Women's Studies?Women's Studies prepares students for careers in non-profit organizations, business, the creative arts, education, government and public policy, journalism, law, medicine, publishing, science, the social sciences, and social work. For example, health professionals of all types, including physicians, nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, focus on issues of concern solely to women or more likely to be faced by women. Manufacturers, retailers, advertising agencies and marketing firms analyze the purchasing patterns and preferences of female consumers, in their efforts to design and sell products that will sell more widely. Lawyers and their staffs often specialize in family law, gender discrimination, sexual harassment, or other issues of special concern to women. Students who major or gain an undergraduate certificate in Women's Studies go on to graduate study in many fields, including the social sciences, humanities, and professions. They also often combine their interest in Women's Studies with another major, and their broad interdisciplinary background makes them attractive candidates for graduate schools. At the graduate level, a Women's Studies certificate can be added to nearly any major offered; students currently enrolled in the graduate program are gaining degrees in English, Library Science, Nursing, Architecture, Health Sciences, Urban Planning, Philosophy, History, International Business, Mass Communication, and Educational Psychology.
