dynamic, inter- and multi-disciplinary program. The curriculum draws from the social sciences, humanities, arts, and sciences. Students cultivate a critical perspective which factors in gender, sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, (dis)ability, and embodiment that will add depth to any major field of study.<\/p>\n<p>Students minoring in GSWS actively engage in social justice activism by developing their skills with advocacy, community engagement, and theory-informed praxis. The GSWS program provides students with the conceptual tools to explore and understand our world through an intersectional framework and encourages students to make connections between macro social structures and individual lives. GSWS minors discover many pathways into innovative work in a variety of fields.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-maete3mz-0afa7dfee1690b248464d713d59d565e-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href="https:\/\/catalog.sou.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=18&amp;poid=5933&amp;returnto=2242"  class='avia-button av-maete3mz-0afa7dfee1690b248464d713d59d565e av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-dark'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"COURSE REQUIREMENTS\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >COURSE REQUIREMENTS<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av-layout-grid-1'  class='av-layout-grid-container av-405acnw-b2a9491f6fe69877512ab4b4d556a9bb entry-content-wrapper alternate_color av-border-cells av-flex-cells  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  grid-row-not-first  container_wrap fullsize'  >\n<div class='flex_cell av-3kg5p98-c1b8be2c2b719a8d350c6ba74139c2cf av-gridrow-cell av_two_fifth no_margin  avia-builder-el-15  el_before_av_cell_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-first '  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><p><div  class='flex_column av-2vrz90c-53ff9e4cec0f1409c9e29ad919c546c3 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-16  el_before_av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div  '     ><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-9wvg0s-be167bcbc811f88b3a2b962e61f70a64 av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-29nhjx8-202b6f4263fcc92f18dec439011959fe\">\n.av_font_icon.av-29nhjx8-202b6f4263fcc92f18dec439011959fe{\ncolor:#d2e388;\nborder-color:#d2e388;\n}\n.av_font_icon.av-29nhjx8-202b6f4263fcc92f18dec439011959fe .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:40px;\nline-height:40px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-29nhjx8-202b6f4263fcc92f18dec439011959fe avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-center dig-0 avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue8c9' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1swdg4c-1577952ca980d1653f0274ad948cb3a5\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-1577952ca980d1653f0274ad948cb3a5{\npadding-bottom:20px;\ncolor:#d2e388;\nfont-size:24px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-1577952ca980d1653f0274ad948cb3a5 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-1577952ca980d1653f0274ad948cb3a5 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:24px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-1577952ca980d1653f0274ad948cb3a5 .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#d2e388;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-1577952ca980d1653f0274ad948cb3a5 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n\n@media only screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 767px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-1577952ca980d1653f0274ad948cb3a5 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n\n@media only screen and (max-width: 479px){ \n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1swdg4c-1577952ca980d1653f0274ad948cb3a5 .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:0.8em;\n}\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-1swdg4c-1577952ca980d1653f0274ad948cb3a5 av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote modern-centered  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_font_icon  el_before_av_textblock  force-pop-12 av-inherit-size'><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  ><span class=\"heavy-man\">Degree Fit<\/span><\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lt6hki2i-b1cc3b2cfc7ff1bf0b6fc59d8d2e0e6d\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-lt6hki2i-b1cc3b2cfc7ff1bf0b6fc59d8d2e0e6d .avia_textblock{\ntext-align:center;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lt6hki2i-b1cc3b2cfc7ff1bf0b6fc59d8d2e0e6d '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Program Preparation<\/h4>\n<p>Students taking GSWS courses learn about themselves and the world through critical thinking and personal and social empowerment.
