Bachelor of Arts - Gender, Sexuality and Race

Gender, Sexuality, and Race Studies (GSRS) students at PLU study how gender, sexuality and race are embedded in complex dynamics of power and resistance, and learn ways to understand identities and imagine new configurations of power.

This program gives students the important tools, resources, and language needed for personal empowerment and civic engagement. Through study and a required internship or community practicum, students will develop skills that will prepare them to pursue social justice, solve problems in diverse communities, work effectively across difference and lead from an equity mindset, some of the most important skills and abilities desired by employers.

GSRS students develop skills in oral and written communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, and community engagement and application.
