The degree combines advanced Women\u2019s and Gender Studies courses in feminist theory, research methods, global feminisms, and selected topics with graduate-level courses in many disciplines. Over forty faculty members at 51ÁÔÆæ are Women\u2019s and Gender Studies affiliates and offer graduate courses that are cross-listed with Women\u2019s and Gender Studies.<\/p>\n<p>Students completing an MA in Women\u2019s and Gender Studies will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n\t<li>Gain an understanding of Women\u2019s and Gender Studies as an interdisciplinary field of study and research.<\/li>\n\t<li>Demonstrate an advanced understanding of feminist theory and research methods.<\/li>\n\t<li>Develop critical thinking skills that will enable them to analyze competing perspectives and integrate various bodies of knowledge across academic boundaries, paying particular attention to gender-based assumptions and their consequences on individuals, social and cultural groups, and institutions.<\/li>\n\t<li>Demonstrate an awareness of women\u2019s diverse experiences based on factors such as age, race, sexuality, gender identity, class, religion, and ability status.<\/li>\n\t<li>Acquire the background necessary for entry into PhD programs in Women\u2019s and Gender Studies. The MA also prepares students for further graduate studies in many fields of the humanities, social sciences or professions, as well as career fields that require an advanced degree.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n  \n\n<\/text>\n\n\n    <div id=\"program-details-jump\">\n        <a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--s\" href=\"#program-details\" rel=\"\">Jump to Program Details <i class=\"uwm-u-pl-10 fa-solid fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-row uwm-u-mt-50\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Type<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>Master&#8217;s<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-offset--2\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Format<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>On Campus<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"intro-sidebar\" class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-mini-rfi uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-p-card--shadow\">\n            <div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\">\n                <div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Request Information<\/div>\n                    <div id='form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>Loading&#8230;<\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left uwm-u-mt-40\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"..\/..\/students\/graduate\/ma-program\/how-to-apply-to-the-ma-program\/\" rel=\"\">How to Apply<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/cost-aid\/\" rel=\"\">Cost<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<script async='async' src='https:\/\/admissions.uwm.edu\/register\/?id=47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3&amp;output=embed&amp;div=form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>\/**\/<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\t    <section id=\"program-highlights\" class=\"uwm-u-py-80 uwm-bg-gray-dark\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\">\n        \n\n<div id=\"program-highlights-content-image\" class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading size-h3\" id=\"h-new-to-milwaukee\"><strong>New to Milwaukee?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Milwaukee is a bustling city and metro area with a smaller town vibe.
