Rider’s minor in gender and sexuality studies will further your understanding of how gender, race, class, ethnicity and sexuality impact institutions and affect the way that individuals think and act. The minor may be used as a complement to a degree in business, liberal arts and the arts.
Our 18-credit minor offers a curriculum that considers the current debates on key issues such as reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, health, politics and law.
Open to all, this scholarship was established for part-time or full-time students who show the potential to improve the status of women through scholarship or activism. Eligible students must be nominated by faculty or financial aid staff to the Gender Studies committee, who will then select the winner from among the qualified students.
Explore professional organizations, programs and research related to gender, sexuality and women's studies. Students can also learn about the GSS sponsored group Rider P.U.S.H. (Professors United for a Safe Haven) BACK, an independent, grassroots faculty organization concerned with LGBTQIA+ issues specifically and social justice more broadly, insofar as they relate to and impact Rider students.
