dynamic, inter- and multi-disciplinary program. The curriculum draws from the social sciences, humanities, arts, and sciences. Students cultivate a critical perspective which factors in gender, sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, (dis)ability, and embodiment that will add depth to any major field of study.<\/p>\n<p>Students minoring in GSWS actively engage in social justice activism by developing their skills with advocacy, community engagement, and theory-informed praxis. The GSWS program provides students with the conceptual tools to explore and understand our world through an intersectional framework and encourages students to make connections between macro social structures and individual lives. GSWS minors discover many pathways into innovative work in a variety of fields.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-maete3mz-06774ae2c8db292049b15768ca238aac-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_heading '><a href="https:\/\/sou26-27.catalog.prod.coursedog.com\/programs"  class='avia-button av-maete3mz-06774ae2c8db292049b15768ca238aac av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-dark'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"COURSE REQUIREMENTS\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >COURSE REQUIREMENTS<\/span><\/a><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1swdg4c-aa08c451c66b0fa33b9fa31393b8d385\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-aa08c451c66b0fa33b9fa31393b8d385{\npadding-bottom:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-aa08c451c66b0fa33b9fa31393b8d385 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-aa08c451c66b0fa33b9fa31393b8d385 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-aa08c451c66b0fa33b9fa31393b8d385 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-1swdg4c-aa08c451c66b0fa33b9fa31393b8d385 av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Degree Fit<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lt6hki2i-81d5991098e865e1f129b0fa303d8c23 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Program Preparation<\/h4>\n<p>Students taking GSWS courses learn about themselves and the world through critical thinking and personal and social empowerment.
