Opportunities for Majors:

In addition to the personal and intellectual growth derived from Gender and Women's Studies courses, there are many practical applications of this field.  University of Denver students combine Gender and Women's Studies with another major; this combination can lead to careers that focus on business, medicine, politics and government, law, literatures, education, economic development, social work, family issues, and psychology, as well as careers for clergy, historians, archivists, and artists.
