Graduate Programs
The interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary graduate program in women's and gender studies (WMST) provides students with a solid academic foundation to pursue their unique goals. As the only applied master's program in women's and gender studies in Maryland and the only master's program in the field in Baltimore, the program emphasizes applied research methods and skills, preparing students for careers in a variety of public and private organizations both national and international, profit and nonprofit.
As a student, you need not wait until you graduate to put your knowledge, research and skills to use-if you choose to do an internship rather than a thesis, your internship work will involve you in the community. Situated in a prime location, you will have access to abundant research and internship opportunities in Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia, and the surrounding region. If you want workplace experience but cannot devote the time for a full internship, you can choose Field Experience, a 3-unit internship.
After completing the required core course work in theory, diversity, and applied research methods and skills, you will work closely with an adviser to design your degree program. Depending on your research interests and career goals, you can tailor the program to meet your needs.
