Students who have completed the tracks have moved well beyond the introducto-

ry level of feminist and gender research, and have advanced greatly as critical

thinkers and knowledgeable citizens. Once the academic tracks are completed,

students are required to complete a field experience or internship that relates to

their major where they will demonstrate that they can apply their learning in

meaningful ways. Finally, students conclude their program with the capstone

Seminar in Women's Studies, a course where they demonstrate that they have

developed the critical thinking skills and professional experience necessary to

analyze the impact of gender on our world in new and original ways.
