What can I do with a B.A. in Women's
and Gender Studies?
 In general, the advanced research and writing skills required
of Women’s and Gender Studies majors prepare you
for a broad range of careers and opportunities. A B.A.
can lead to career paths in the profit as well as the
non-profit sector. For instance, graduates in Women's
and Gender Studies have worked for Habitat for Humanity,
Chicago Foundation for Women, Rape Victim Advocates, Apna
Ghar Domestic Violence Agency, the Cook County Commission
on the Status of Women, and other non-profit and business
organizations. Women’s and Gender Studies graduates
also have gone on to graduate school to continue their
studies in Women's and Gender Studies or another field
of their interest, while others have enrolled in professional
schools, such as law, social work and medicine. DePaul
