The Associate in Arts in Social Justice Studies: Gender Studies for Transfer degree is designed to provide a clear pathway to a California State University major and baccalaureate programs in Women’s Studies, Gender Studies, and Women and Gender Studies. Women and Gender Studies offers students breadth of knowledge through a set of introductory courses addressing gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and class, and depth of knowledge courses that focus on women’s experiences from an intersectional feminist perspective. Coursework aims to understand and dismantle not only sexism, but also racism, homophobia/heterosexism, classism, ableism, ageism, transphobia, and other forms of institutionalized oppression.
