Women's Studies

San Diego Mesa College’s Women’s Studies program provides you with the opportunity to pursue an interdisciplinary course of study with an emphasis on the perspectives and experiences of women. Multicultural courses offered in the Women’s Studies curriculum examine the divergent experiences of women through the lens of gender, race, ethnicity, class, nationality, religion, and sexual orientation in both a historical and a modern perspective. You will learn to identify how cultural, political, and economic hegemonies impact the human experience through a gendered lens, and also examine the actions of women as they seek to foster change in their society. The Women’s Studies program will provide an opportunity for you to engage in conversations around diversity and inclusivity needed to thrive within our multicultural world, as you work towards an associate degree and/or prepare to transfer.
