Students will integrate academic learning with applied experience through the completion of an internship in a local setting where violence and its relationships to gender are the focus. This concentration offers a focus for students pursuing studies in Women's and Gender Studies, Psychology, Political Science, Sociology, Philosophy, or Criminology and Justice Studies. Learn more »
