Marietta's Gender Studies minor is an interdisciplinary program that shows students how various societies view gender and sexuality, and how both are expressed, influenced and regulated.

Students interested in Gender Studies have an array of activities to select from at Marietta, including the College's award-winning "WITS" (Women In The Sciences) Program. This series of after-school and summer camp programs is designed to help local fifth- through eighth-grade girls achieve high standards in math and science.

The Gender Studies Minor

At Marietta College

Students pursuing a minor in Gender Studies complete an array of courses that examine how concepts of gender influence social and interpersonal behavior and the impact of gender identity on human relations historically and cross-culturally. Students become familiar with various men's and women's groups, and gain an understanding of what men and women seek from membership in these groups as well as how and why tensions arise between them.
