The interdisciplinary Women's Studies Program at Langara is designed to introduce you to a diversity of perspectives on women's histories, contemporary experiences, analyses and movements for change. Women's Studies builds on evolving knowledge and methodologies to integrate the many forms of feminist scholarship and activism. The core courses provide a thorough overview of critical concepts for understanding how change in and maintenance of the status quo impact the lives of women personally and collectively, locally and globally. Through course content and teaching methodologies, Women's Studies focuses on the concerns and experiences of those women traditionally outside the scope of mainstream thought, and therefore makes visible a wide range of female experience.

Some students go on in areas such as social work, journalism, law, teaching, health professions, government policy, community organizations, business and government consulting in the areas of equity and social justice, and in creative arts such as theatre, video and filmmaking and writing. Many students find what they ‘do’ with Women’s Studies is also related to expanding their everyday lives, world views and skills of analysis, and involvement in communities.
