The Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at ETSU is committed to strengthening interdisciplinary and diversity emphases at the university and to training students to address issues affecting women in the Appalachian South, nationally, and globally.

Our focus on Leadership through Diversity makes our program unique and highlights our emphasis on applied learning and leadership. As a result of our programs emphasis on this link between the theory and practice, our graduates enter the workforce and/or graduate programs as accomplished social thinkers who are focused on civic engagement, social justice, and change and who can help to satisfy the continuing needlocally, nationally, and globallyto improve the lives, opportunities, and futures of women, gender, and sexual minorities.
