Women's Studies Certificate: The Women’s Studies certificate gives students a focus
on issues concerning women and gender in a variety of academic areas. The courses analyze the contributions and importance of women in the development of human societies and bodies of knowledge, and they challenge the errors of omission in traditional academics. Coursework in Women’s Studies provides students with important background preparation to work in counseling, business, communications, public and community service, advocacy work, law, public health and non-profit service. Careers may include domestic abuse or welfare rights advocacy, family counseling, sexual assault counseling, health care, human resources and public relations. The Women’s Studies Certificate program consists of a cluster of credit courses that are a part of the regular curriculum offered at the University of Wisconsin Colleges.
